It may have taken a couple of years, but the Emmy Awards and Conan O’Brien are finally going on their second date together.

The Academy Of Television Sciences announced on Friday that O’Brien will be this year’s host for the annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air on Aug. 27 on NBC, eOnline reports.

“Conan did a tremendous job when he hosted the Emmys back in 2002, and we are thrilled that he’s returning,” says Dick Astin, chairman of the Television Academy.

The ceremony, which is usually held in September, is being held earlier this year because of NBC acquiring Sunday football in the fall.

O’Brien first hosted the ceremony in 2002, and also helped to host the ceremony in 2003, when the Academy tried to have a group of comedians share hosting duties.
