Mariska Hargitay to host the 78th Annual Emmy Awards

Mariska Hargitay, Emmy host, is confirmed for the 78th Emmy Awards. The news was shared by NBC, the Television Academy, and Hargitay on social media, with NBC mentioning her as a "television legend."
Hargitay has made her name in the entertainment industry through shows including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Law & Order: Organized Crime, and Chicago P.D. Alongside being an actress, she has also worked as a producer on many projects, including My Mom Jayne.
Her hosting the Emmy Awards is seen as historic, considering no woman has hosted the Emmys since 2011. Jane Lynch last appeared as host fifteen years ago. With Hargitay now confirmed as host, she becomes the next woman to take on that role.
Mariska Hargitay has been actively working in the industry for over four decades now, and her performance as Olivia Benson has earned her multiple Emmy nominations. She has also won an Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.
Speaking of being the host of the 78th Emmy Awards, Hargitay, as reported by Variety, said she is grateful to host the Emmy Awards during the hundredth birthday year of NBC and celebrate the people behind television, including actors, directors, and other creators.
