The 2026 Emmy Awards will be hosted by "Law and Order: SVU" star Mariska Hargitay.

"It's my great honor to host the 78th Emmy Awards – in the 100th birthday year of my beloved NBC – and celebrate this extraordinary community of storytellers," Hargitay said in an announcement in July.

Speaking with USA TODAY, Hargitay teased a musical number for the show, adding that it will be "more song than dance." When asked for more details, she remained tight-lipped: "I wouldn't tell you ever."
