Show Host
One of the most respected performers in the world, Vanessa Williams has conquered the musical charts, Broadway, music videos, television and motion pictures. She currently stars as the deliciously wicked Wilhelmina Slater on ABC’s critically acclaimed hit series Ugly Betty. Her upcoming album is slated for a fall release, and she’s currently in the process of moving from L.A. back to her hometown of New York City – where Ugly Betty is due to begin filming. Now this multi-faceted entertainer brings her tremendous talent to TV Land.

Online Host
Judah Friedlander joins the Sixth Annual TV Land Awards as an extra-special online host with a knack for tracking and targeting his next interviewee (before they even see him coming). Best known for playing head writer Frank on the critically acclaimed NBC comedy 30 Rock, Friedlander is a talented stand-up comedian whose on-stage “grandiose self-promoting nerdy slacker” persona has won him fame and a cult following. TV Land has no doubt that Judah will prove to be the “World Champion” of online hosts.

He then became a TV host, a lifestyle expert, and an in-demand stylist who works with A-list stars like Eva Longoria, Hugh Jackman and Mariska Hargitay. Verdi holds a degree from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, and in addition to writing fashion columns and hosting his own shows has even guest-starred as himself in The Devil Wears Prada.Verdi is a celebrity judge on the TV Land original hit series She’s Got the Look.
