Ariana DeBose Will Host the 2024 Tony Awards

The Oscar winner will do the thing—for the third time.

Stage and screen star Ariana DeBose will return to host the 2024 Tony Awards, set to be held June 16 at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater. As with last year's Tonys, the 77th annual ceremony will be broadcast in two parts, with The Tony Awards: Act One presented on free streamer Pluto TV in partnership with CBS and The 77th Annual Tony Awards following on CBS and streaming via Paramount+. Nominations will be announced April 30.

The gig will mark DeBose's third consecutive time hosting the Broadway's top honors, placing her in an esteemed list of other three-time Tony hosts that include Julie Andrews, Bud Collyer, Rosie O'Donnell, and James Sauter. DeBose's record will only be bested by four-time hosts Neil Patrick Harris, Hugh Jackman, Nathan Lane, and Robert Preston; and reigning champion five-time host, Angela Lansbury.

“I couldn’t pass up the chance to host the Tonys one more time at Lincoln Center," says DeBose in a statement. "I’m excited to collaborate with the team to create an incredible celebration of this season’s achievements on Broadway for our community and for everyone at home."

I guess Julie Benko turned the hosting job down.

Who is James Sauter? I have never heard of him, and Googling didn't help me.

She must offer a generous discount.
