It's the first time he'll host the Emmys, but awards shows are nothing new to the funnyman, who has already hosted the American Music Awards and the ESPY Awards. Jimmy's also set to host the White House Correspondents' dinner next month.

According to Entertainment Weekly, he quipped, "I hope to be able to do for the Emmys this year what Eddie Murphy did for the Oscars."
