Survivor creator and overall reality show guru Mark Burnett has been tapped to produce this year's Emmy Awards on Sept. 18, to air on Fox.
"As an Emmy Award winner, I know the excitement of standing on the Emmy stage before your peers and the American public to receive that statue," he said in a statement. "My mission in producing this year's Emmys is to provide the absolutely most memorable television experience for the nominees, the winners and the viewing audience." Burnett, who has never produced the Emmys before, has overseen the MTV Movie Awards and the People's Choice Awards.
Meanwhile, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences also announced a new eight-year deal with Fox, ABC, CBS and NBC, which will continue to carry the ceremony in an alternating "wheel" pattern.
