After a five-year absence, veteran producer Don Mischer is returning to the "Primetime Emmy Awards" as executive producer of the upcoming 61st edition of the awards show, which will be broadcast Sunday, Sept. 20, on CBS.
"From the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics to the recent presidential inauguration at the Lincoln Memorial to Super Bowl halftime shows, Don Mischer is one of the great big-event producers of our time," CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said. "He knows how to bring excitement and pageantry to live events, and how to produce memorable moments on television."
CBS and the TV Academy said Mischer had presented them with new ideas for this year's telecast but wouldn't elaborate further.
At the helm of the Emmys, Mischer follows Ken Ehrlich, who exec produced the ceremony for the past four years, including last year's ill-fated experiment with the five nominated reality hosts as co-MCs.
