As a seasoned gamer who has navigated through countless virtual worlds, I can confidently say that Vir Das is not just another character to add to my gaming roster – he’s a real-life avatar of charisma and talent! His journey from stand-up comedian to actor, singer, and now the host of the International Emmys, is nothing short of epic.
2024’s International Emmy Awards will see Indian comedian and actor, Vir Das, taking on the role as the event’s host. The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences made this announcement on Wednesday.
The International Emmy Awards will take place on Nov. 25 in New York City.
In 2021, my special “Vir Das: For India” was nominated in the comedy category, and I took home the win in 2023 for my latest Netflix comedy special “Landing.” Currently, I’m jet-setting across the globe on my Mind Fool tour. On top of that, I’ve created, produced, and acted in numerous series such as the ABC spy dramedy “Whiskey Cavalier,” the suspenseful “Hasmukh” for Netflix, and the travel show “Jestination Unknown” for Amazon. You might have also spotted me in Judd Apatow’s “The Bubble,” and I’m now developing a single-camera comedy series with CBS Studios and Andy Samberg. Oh, and did I mention I’m the frontman of India’s comedy-rock band Alien Chutney?
Das expressed his joy about being the host of the International Emmys, stating that it’s a significant and prestigious event, showcasing creators from around the globe who he believes are producing the best content currently. He also shared his personal experience, emphasizing that such recognition can be truly life-altering.
We’re thrilled to have Vir Das return to our stage once more, expanding his impressive repertoire by taking on the role of International Emmy Host. Bruce L. Paisner, president and CEO of the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, remarks that ‘Vir’s one-of-a-kind wit and worldview seamlessly resonate with our diverse audience, making him an excellent fit for this esteemed group of Gala hosts we’ve had in the past.’
