The Emmy Awards will welcome TV newcomer Lady Gaga as one of its presenters at this year's awards ceremony.
The Television Academy announced on Thursday that the "American Horror Story: Hotel" star will serve as a presenter for the 67th annual Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 20. Gaga will join already announced presenters Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard from "Empire" as well as Jimmy Kimmel, Amy Poehler, Maggie Gyllenhaal and LL Cool J.
Lady Gaga will make her television acting debut in the next installment of "American Horror Story," which premieres on FX next month.
