CBS today confirmed that Neil will be hosting this year’s Emmys. He told the Associated Press:

“I’m looking forward to the challenge of the show — adding my own voice to it, while honoring the nominees and the entire year in television,” Harris said. “But which voice to choose? I’m torn between gangsta, foppish Brit, and robot. Really proud of my robot. We’ll see what happens on the night.”

Neil will also serve as a producer for the broadcast.

The Emmy nominations are announced this Thursday, July 16th, by The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons and Grey’s Anatomy’s Chandra Wilson. The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards take place on Sunday, September 20th and you can catch them live on CBS.
