Will Jimmy Kimmel breathe new life into the Emmys?

Jane Lynch is out and late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel is taking over as the host for this year’s Emmy Awards. The announcement came via a press release in which Kimmel said he hoped “to be able to do for the Emmys this year what Eddie Murphy did for the Oscars.” The host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” also joins fellow late-night comedians Jon Stewart and Conan O’Brien on the list of prior Emmy Award winners-turned-hosts. Think Kimmel will give the show a kick in the pants this year? (Photo by Chris Camargo) source
