Indeed she will, but she'll have some help. In a change born of trying to keep current with the state of television today, the Emmys will be hosted by the five nominees in the Reality TV Host category. Klum will share hosting duties with Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Probst, Howie Mandel, and (the man that should win it all) Tom Bergeron.
It's a great idea. The standard formula of these shows is something just asking to be shaken up. Klum is probably the biggest question mark here, for the simple fact that she has Tim Gunn to handle much of the unscripted action. I'll be curious to see how she handles the role, and I'm confident that the rest of the nominees will be just fine. The linked article also has a great stat. The average audience of the five nominated shows has been as high as 70 million. Jiminy. The broadcast takes place Sept. 21st, on ABC.

Wait a minute. It's an award-show and you're concerned about how Heidi Klum will do as a presenter based on her lack of experience as a host without scripted lines? I don't know what award shows you're watching, but it seems most of what is said by hosts and presenters is scripted to the point of producing some of the most unnatural verbal exchanges between human beings you're likely to see on television. While I agree that she is the least experienced as a host, I don't think it has anything to do with things being unscripted.
