    MUMBAI: Following their turn as hosts of this year’s Golden Globe Awards, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are joining forces again as presenters for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards, along with three other pairs of female leads.

    The other presenters include Scandal’s Kerry Washington, who is paired with Diahann Carroll, currently starring in the drama White Collar. Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) and Emily Deschanel (Bones) will share the Emmy stage as well. Four-time Emmy Award winner Allison Janney, along with Anna Faris, who both star in the new CBS comedy Mom, will also present at the awards.

    Tina Fey and Amy Poehler may return to host the Golden Globes

    MUMBAI: After successfully hosting the Golden Globes this year, the duo has been asked to come back for a second time. The comedy stars had received good reception at their first stint. They had agreed to just appear once as hosts but their success has made NBC and Golden Globes request them to be back.

     

    However, there hasn’t been any formal communication as yet and the duo seems to be very busy with their respective projects. Fey has two high profile comedy shows under her belt after receiving some huge buzz for 30 Rock. Poehler is the star producer of NBC’s Parks and Recreation.

     

    Prior to 2010, the Globes did not have any host and even now it is not too heavy on them either. More conversations are set to begin next month as it has to be finalised by November, before announcing nominees in December.

     

    Fey and Poehler drew 19.7 million viewers last year that moved up by 17 per cent from the previous year as well as recording as one of the most watched Globes ever.
