There was a fair amount of skepticism regarding FOX's choice to hand over the Emmy hosting reigns to American Idol host and friend of the Teeny-bopper Ryan Seacrest this year. There was no controversy, per se, because it's really not that big of a deal. It's not like Seacrest's Emmy appointment was out of nowhere, either. FOX has been known to shamelessly flog its own assets and as the best host on the FOX network, it was wholly reasonable that he host a major award show. The only problem was that the trend for major awards shows has been to hand over hosting duties to comedians. Ryan Seacrest is no comedian.
