likewise turned down the chance to host the ceremony, which is set to take place on Sept. 12.
“He’s in the middle of his tour and is preparing for the taping of his comedy special, which will be taping this fall,” the source told ET of Rock’s reason for declining the offer. While some speculated the host offers being declined could lead to a hostless ceremony, a rep for the TV Academy told ET that they are not considering foregoing a host at this time.
Though Johnson won’t be hosting television’s biggest night, he does have several projects coming down the pipeline. In October, he’ll take on the titular role in “Black Adam”, a film he “can’t wait” for the public to see. “I think we are in a new era of anti-hero,” Johnson told ET. “What I love about Black Adam is there’s nothing to reference before him.”
