Jane Lynch to Host Emmy Awards
Lynch, 50, won an Emmy last year for her role as scheming high school cheerleader coach Sue Sylvester on the Fox musical comedy series.
The actress said she was "tickled pink" to be hosting the 2011 ceremony, to be televised live from Los Angeles on September 18.
"I'm looking forward to singing, dancing and sporting my finest tracksuit," she quipped in a statement.
Mark Burnett, the executive producer of the Emmy Awards show, said Lynch was his first choice to host the show.
