The Television Academy’s board of governors has voted vice chairman Frank Scherma to become its new chairman and CEO, a post he will take over from the outgoing Hayma Washington. The election was held Thursday night at a board meeting at which the TV Academy’s annual officer elections were also held.
Scherma, the president of RadicalMedia whose producer credits include music documentaries, Errol Morris’ The Fog of War, Broadway’s Shrek the Musical and IFC TV’s Stan Against Evil, was the lone candidate to step forward by the deadline when Washington said in October he would not seek a second term. Washington was the first African-American leader in the organization’s 70-year history.
The incoming chairman will serve a two-year term beginning January 1, 2019. Additional incoming officers elected Thursday include Steve Venezia, Vice Chair; Tim Gibbons, Second Vice Chair; Sharon Lieblein, Secretary; Allison Binder, Treasurer; and Mitch Waldow,...

This year, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Emmy Awards, the Governors Ball is taking the party outside.
For the first time, the official afterparty of the Emmys will feature an open-air rooftop setting, held on the L.A. Live Event Deck rather than in a more traditional ballroom, for what is being dubbed “Emmys Under the Stars.”
The more modern design for this year’s Governors Ball, which will feature celebrations Sept. 8 and 9 for the Creative Arts Emmys, and again on Sept. 17 for the Primetime Emmys, is “reflective of how the television industry has evolved,” says the ball’s committee co-chair Tammy Glover Park.
The party will not only feature an outdoor deck for mingling and dining, but also a tented indoor space covered with dangling lights, which highlights a dance floor, stage and ample seating options. Inspired by this year’s Emmy key art and the golden Emmy statue,...

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.
Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards. Plus, for the first time some of the other actors on NBC's laffer were recognized. Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan all picked up supporting nominations.
MacFarlane's Family Guy was also nominated for best comedy series, the first time an animated show has cracked that category since The Flintstones in 1961. Two years ago MacFarlane decided to pull his show from contention in the animated series category to have it considered for best comedy.
Mad Men, the drama about the advertising world in the sixties, picked up 16 nominations in the drama categories, including a best actor nod for Jon Hamm. Hamm is also nominated as...
