The news was confirmed by Fox Entertainment CEO Charlie Collier on Wednesday morning during the network’s Television Critics Association press tour.

“We’ve had a lot of names on the board [internally] but the conclusion was reached this year that we’re highlighting so many shows going away that it was a better use of the time [to focus on the shows],” Collier said. “There will be entertainment. There will be an opening number. If you look at the trade-offs in a show like the Emmys, so often its a trade-off between the opening acts and using the time elsewhere. There will be many surprises. It will be entertaining.”

Collier also added that the fact that the Oscars went without a host last February also factored into the decision, especially since the show’s ratings actually improved without a host.

“Obviously, that was a piece of information and it did do very well but I think it’s a pretty unique year for some of America’s favorite shows and it was the right thing to do,” he said.

The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards will be held September 22, 2019, in Los Angeles.

The former SNL writer’s first hosting gig on the show was back in April 14, 2018. This time he will serve as host for the show’s March 2nd episode. He will be joined by musical guest Thomas Rhett. 

The announcement that Mulaney will host SNL on March 2 was made during Saturday’s telecast hosted by Don Cheadle. It was then confirmed via the show’s official Twitter. 

The 36-year-old writer-comedian is only one of three non-cast member writers that went on to host the show. They are Conan O’Brien, Larry David and Mulaney.

Mulaney was part of the show’s writing team for six seasons. His most recent appearance was on Weekend Update alongside Pete Davidson.
