Monday’s ceremony will be the 75th edition of the Emmy Awards, and Anthony Anderson, the show’s host, will get some support in the form of onstage reunions from celebrated shows.
Several cast members from “Cheers” — the beloved NBC sitcom that aired from 1982 to 1993, winning four best comedy Emmys along the way — will join together, including Ted Danson, Kelsey Grammer, Rhea Perlman, John Ratzenberger and George Wendt. Two cast members from “The Sopranos” — Lorraine Bracco and Michael Imperioli — which celebrated the 25th anniversary of its premiere last week, will be there; so will several actors from “Ally McBeal,” the 1999 best comedy winner (Calista Flockhart, Greg Germann, Peter MacNicol and Gil Bellows). There will also be cast reunions for “Grey’s Anatomy” and the 1990s Fox sitcom “Martin.”
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, former Golden Globe hosts and “Saturday Night Live” Weekend Update anchors, will also present.
Emmy producers expect to pay tribute to many other beloved classics, including “I Love Lucy,” “All in the Family” and “The Carol Burnett Show.”
