Charlie Puth and the acclaimed duo The War and Treaty will perform above the In Memoriam spot at the Primetime Emmys on Monday (January 15). And that won't be the only musical moment on the show – Travis Barker will team up with show host Anthony Anderson for what the show promises will be “a show-stopper”.
In a promotional appearance, Anderson also revealed his unconventional plan to keep things moving on Emmy night. Instead of the traditional play-off music to prompt the winners to complete long acceptance speeches, Anderson's mother, Doris Bowman (aka Mama Doris), will act as the show's “enforcer” to ensure a brisk pace.
The series will also feature cast reunions and tributes to television series spanning more than seven decades, including The Sopranos, Swallow, Cheers, Grey's Anatomy, Everyone in the family, Ally McBeal and I love Lucy as Saturday Night Live's Signature Weekend Update segment, hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
The Emmys teased that the performers will recreate the film's famous candy-carrying sequence from I love Lucyalthough they did not reveal the brave performers who will attempt to follow in the footsteps of Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance.
TV legend Carol Burnett, who won a Primetime Emmy at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Taped) for Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love I will present.
