"And the winner for outstanding reality host... after this."

Though a spokesperson for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences says it's "premature" to discuss any changes in store for this fall's Primetime Emmy Awards, sources tell Variety that a category honoring the best reality host is being added, affording the likes of Ryan and Jeff to make a grab for gold. The new category is said to have been tentatively approved, pending a final board vote in mid-March.

Meanwhile, a bid to merge the best miniseries and made-for-TV movie categories into one reportedly has been rejected, even though the actors in each format compete against each other.

What's your take? Who do you think is reality TV's most outstanding frontman? Cast your vote here!

Sounds like just another category for The Amazing Race to beat out the others. Phil bests Ryan, Jeff or any of the others.

Phil for the win. Just like Amazing Race is THE outstanding reality show, Phil is the best host and deserves the win.

NO ONE beats Jeff Probst. He has become the face of Survivor, and his insight into the castaways and the dynamics of the tribes, etc. is remarkable. He has a terrific read on the people, a love for the show that is highly visible, and he has hosted this show for 16 seasons, with more to come!

Phil or Jeff.

No one else is in the same league.

Never, ever, EVER let Seacrest anywhere near this one. Don't even let his a$$ in the category.

Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race! He's the BEST just like the show.

I thought Emmy awards were to recognize talent. "Reality" shows are mostly mindless filler. What a cultural cesspool.

Phil Keoghan, host of The Amazing Race!

The perfect dry wit.

No cheesiness whatsoever.

Browsie.

The Phackage.

No contest.

With out a doubt it has to be Tom Bergeron on DWTS. He is extremely quick witted.

Julie Chen from "Big Brother".

Seriously, what a waste of metal. I feel sorry for the Academy members who have to rot their brains selecting nominees and a winner. What exactly would the criteria be?
