Los Angeles – America’s No. 1 NFL pregame show for 21 years, and winner of 20 Sports Emmy® Awards, FOX NFL SUNDAY has ranked among televisions most iconic shows in terms of success and longevity. So it should be no surprise that on Sunday, Sept. 20 (12:00 PM ET/ 9:00 AM PT), FOX NFL SUNDAY originates from the 67TH EMMY AWARDS red carpet, where later that day the industry’s best and brightest enter the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, home to this year’s awards ceremony (8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT on FOX). This is the first time a sports-themed pregame show will air live from the site of the Emmys.
“The Emmys are one of the most prestigious and anticipated television events of the year,” said John Entz, President of Production, FOX Sports. “There’s no doubt that we can kick off the excitement and pageantry by having FOX NFL SUNDAY live on the red carpet all day. We plan on speaking to many of the talented stars on the carpet who happen to be huge football fans.”
Terry Bradshaw and Curt Menefee co-host FOX NFL SUNDAY, with analysts Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and Michael Strahan. Bradshaw, Menefee, Long, Johnson and Strahan are joined by NFL insider Jay Glazer. The show made its network television premiere in September 1994.
