OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE -- 2009 BOOK AWARDS LAND KIMMEL
NEW YORK CITY, NY –-(PR Newswire)-- After Life Media Properties, LLC, Tenniversal Productions©, Scorpion’s Den Entertainment, Inc.™ and Jimmy Kimmel have reached an agreement for Kimmel to be the Special Guest Host for the 2009 BOOK Awards, held February 28th in New York City at the world-famous Radio City Music Hall.
The deal marks Kimmel’s first-ever appearance at the annual event for the Fantasy Booking world. “There’s only one Radio City Music Hall, only one Big Apple, and only one event of this variety in the world. As a longtime wrestling fan, a writer and quasi-entertainer, I’m thrilled for an extravaganza like this. Sports-entertainers, fantasy bookers, musicians, actors, and athletes all converging on the same landmark in one night - that says “pop culture” all the way. It’s going to be a sensational night, in spite of the fact that I’m the Master of Ceremonies for all of it.”, said Kimmel in a released statement.
“We are absolutely ecstatic to have Jimmy as the Special Celebrity Host for this year’s BOOK Awards in New York City. He’d been our first choice from the very beginning, so we were fortunate enough to get the deal we wanted, done. It’s going to be the biggest, baddest, most spectacular BOOK Awards yet and he’s one of the primary reasons why.”, said Tennessee in a released statement to the Associated Press. “He’s the premiere presence in Late Night variety television, genuinely one of the funniest men in America, and the embodiment of what we were looking for in a Special Guest Host for our banner event.”
Special Q & A’s with Kimmel, himself, and the awards show creators will take place at the exclusive Media Day event, held in 2 weeks at the show site, Radio City Music Hall.
