Stephen Colbert will host the annual Emmy Awards telecast that will be shown later this year on his home network of CBS.

The annual awards show honoring the best in television will take place in mid September in Los Angeles.

Colbert, 52, is host of the The Late Show on CBS and the former host of Comedy Central's Colbert Report.

Emmys host: Stephen Colbert, shown in August 2015 in Beverly Hills, California, was named on Monday as host of the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards airing on CBS in September

In talking about hosting the 69th Emmy telecast, Colbert made sly reference to the Trump administration's unprovable assertion that Trump's inauguration was the most watched ever.

Said Colbert: 'This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period. Both in person and around the globe.'

CBS Entertainment executive vice president Jack Sussman said the network was excited to 'celebrate the top achievements in television with Stephen Colbert as host of the Primetime Emmys.'

'Stephen is the ultimate master of ceremonies with award-winning creative talents, and as we’ve seen the past few months, he has a fearless passion for live television,' Sussman added.

Late show: The Late Show host is shown last October during a taping in New York City

'We look forward to honoring television’s best while entertaining audiences with the creative energy and sharp comedy of Stephen Colbert,' he said.

Colbert replaced late night legend David Letterman in September 2015 as host of The Late Show.

Before joining The Late Show, Colbert spent nine years on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, where he played a conservative talking head, and before that was a fixture on The Daily Show.
