5 things to expect from Andy Samberg as Emmy host
Andy Samberg will be
of the 2015 Emmy Awards.
The Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Saturday Night Live star will be hosting the Sept. 20 award show on Fox (which makes sense given that Nine-Nine is a Fox show). Samberg has never hosted an award show before, but given what we know about the comedian, we're pretty sure we can count on these five things to happen during the telecast.
1. A prerecorded segment. Or two. Or five.
Let's face it, even though Samberg made his name on a live TV show, he is most famous for the Digital Shorts he brought to SNL (his contribution to the show's 40th anniversary live special was yet another Digital Short). Whether he was having a lazy Sunday or putting an important body part in a box, Samberg was never better than during these prerecorded bits. Expect at least one during the telecast.
2. An appearance from the rest of The Lonely Island
Samberg's hosting duties simply wouldn't be complete without an appearance from Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. The Lonely Island has, among other things, written and performed together since 2000, on SNL, so we can't possibly imagine that they won't be a part of the Emmys. Maybe they'll bring T-Pain along, just for fun.
3. A great sense of style
Did you see those blue tuxedos the Lonely Island wore at the Oscars? They were on point. Pair that with the some of the other great outfits we've seen Samberg in over the years, and we can bet he'll be wearing more than a regular tux.
4. At least one joke about how everything is awesome
We're betting the song will definitely still be stuck in our heads. And what can be more awesome for Samberg than hosting the Emmys?
5. An appearance by his Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star, Andre Braugher

OK, this one is more a wish than an expectation, because the comedic pairing of Samberg and Braugher on Nine-Nine is one of the absolute best things about the show. An appearance from a stoic Braugher would be the icing on the cake of Samberg's hosting stint.
What do you guys think?
