The Host With the Most: Mariska Hargitay's Emmy Moment Mariska Hargitay's announcement as host for this year's Emmy Awards has sparked a mix of excitement and curiosity.
Her selection comes on the heels of a 15 year drought in female hosts, with Jane Lynch being the last woman to take the stage in 2011.
Hargitay's background as an actress and executive producer is well documented, but her early career experience at The Groundlings, where she honed her comedic skills alongside other future comedy stars, will likely serve her well in navigating the unpredictable world of live television.
