In addition to simultaneous live broadcasts at 8 p.m. EDT and 5 p.m. Pacific, NBC is expected to live stream the event as well.

In addition to watching online, viewers can download the free NBC app to watch on their phones or other electronic devices.

This year’s show is sure to be one full of laughs, as viewers will be treated to “Saturday Night Live-Weekend Update” co-hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che taking on the role of co-hosts of the awards for the first time. The two have worked together on the Saturday night staple variety program since 2014. They inherited the roles from former co-star Seth Meyers and current co-star Cecily Strong.

In addition to Che and Jost, viewers will get to see a bevy of TV stars who will be presenting as well. According to a press release, Alec Baldwin, Rachel Brosnahan, Millie Bobby Brown, Michael Douglas, Tina Fey, Kit Harington, Taraji P. Henson, Kate McKinnon, Tracy Morgan, Bob Odenkirk, Sandra Oh and Constance Wu are set to take the stage and announce some winners.
