\u201cI am extremely excited to host this year\u2019s show,\u201d Tomasulo said in a statement Monday. \u201cAs someone who\u2019s never even been nominated for an Emmy (because I won\u2019t have an intern put together my submission tape), this is the first time anyone has really cared if I attend. It feels nice. I look forward to some of you knowing who I am by the time the night is over, and possibly making me job offers. I am also excited for the free meal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s his first time as emcee, Tomasulo previously served as backstage host for the event in 2013.<\/p>\n

Venue for this year\u2019s ceremony will be the Redmoon Theater, <\/a>2120 South Jefferson Street, in the Pilsen neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Emmy nominations will be announced October 6. Reporter Jake Hamilton and weekend news anchor Natalie Bomke of Fox-owned WFLD-Channel 32<\/a> will host the nominations party at the Godfrey Hotel Chicago,<\/a> 127 West Huron Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
