The group will capture the glitz and glamour of the festivities, interviewing celebrities from the Red Carpet as they make their way into the Beverly Hilton.
Additionally, Fandango’s Dave Karger and EW’s Meeta Agrawal will appear on the show to share predictions on the night’s big winners and Elle magazine’s Joe Zee will offer fashion commentary on the evening’s looks.
The show will air on the NBC-owned stations at 6-7 p.m., leading up to the NBC pre-show which airs at 7-8.
