TAKE THE 60TH PRIMETIME EMMYS® REALITY HOST CHALLENGE

Discover More About Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst and Ryan Seacrest on New Host- dedicated Site

North Hollywood, CA– First, TV fans could vote for their Most Memorable Television Moments, and now the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has partnered with Buzztone to create a fan site revealing fun facts about the hosts of TV’s most popular reality programs – who also happen to be the hosts of the 60th Primetime Emmy® Awards. 

“This is just another of the ways we’re making it possible for TV fans to be involved and have fun with this year’s Emmys,” said John Shaffner, Chairman and CEO of the Television Academy.

Now posted at www.emmyshostvideotrivia.com, the site begins with a unique collection of videos about each of this year’s reality-turned-Emmys-hosts: Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Howie Mandell (Deal or No Deal), Jeff Probst (Survivor), and Ryan Seacrest (American Idol). 

By viewing the videos, users can answer the Primetime Emmy Host Trivia Hunt/Challenge and discover trivia about the hosts’ early careers, travels, favorite charities and activities. 

In addition, the site features tips on how to host your own Primetime Emmy party, and a section for downloading and uploading favorite Primetime Emmy host videos – or your own testimonials about those hosts --  from the past.
 
Buzztone developed the interactive platform for the Primetime Emmys Host Trivia Hunt using the Entertainment Interface, a turnkey, cost-effective, breakthrough content discovery and distribution platform that allow companies to leverage a powerful competitive advantage in today's increasing online marketplace.
