John Stamos and Uzo Aduba lucked out this year. While they were picked to announce the nominees for the 67th Primetime Emmys next month, they won’t have to wake up as freakishly early as their predecessors.
The TV Academy said today that the two stars will announce the nominees on Thursday, July 16 at 8:30 a.m. PDT, rather than 5:30 a.m. PDT like past nomination announcements. The event will be streamed online and broadcast by the major networks.
Spike Jones Jr. will produce the nominations ceremony, which takes place at the SilverScreen Theater at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, for the fifth time.
Stamos is currently working on Netflix’s Full House follow-up series Fuller House and stars on Fox’s new sitcom Grandfathered. In that show, which debuts this fall, he plays a womanizer who learns that he is a father and grandfather at the same time.
Aduba currently plays Suzanne ‘Crazy eyes’ Warren on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black. The role earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy last year.
The 67th Emmys will air on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 8 p.m. on Fox with Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg hosting.
