Mariska Hargitay Gets Hosting Tips from Jimmy Kimmel

Mariska Hargitay is preparing to host the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, following her recent double Emmy win. She discussed her hosting duties with Jimmy Kimmel on his show, where she received valuable advice for the role.

Hargitay shared that Kimmel's wife, Molly, who has experience with major award shows, offered initial guidance. Kimmel then emphasized the importance of correctly pronouncing nominees' names, a point Hargitay took to heart, even bringing a cap with her name's pronunciation. She successfully practiced pronouncing names like Ayo Edebiri and Rhea Seehorn.

The 78th Emmy Awards ceremony, hosted by Hargitay, will be broadcast live on NBC on Monday, September 14, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The event will also be available for live streaming and on-demand viewing via Peacock, originating from the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles.
