If you’re wondering what that hosting style will look like in practice. P!nk has already hinted at the kind of high-energy staging viewers might see. In an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings in June 2026. she said. “There will be acrobatic moments. but not in the way that you would normally see me doing acrobatic moments. I know there’s a harness or two.”.

So P!nk is hosting but are they gonna actually show all the wins or just the “TV” parts?
Wait it says June 7 2026… that’s like next year? I hate when they post stuff way early. Also Radio City Music Hall feels weird for TV but I guess Broadway gonna Broadway.
“Harness or two”?? Isn’t that gonna be dangerous on live TV lol. I’m pretty sure they’ll just do it the same way as the Super Bowl halftime where someone falls and everyone pretends it’s choreo.
Pluto TV at 6:35 is kinda confusing like do I need Paramount+ AND Pluto? I thought CBS was just CBS. Also they said anniversary tributes to Rent?? Isn’t Rent like already a tribute every year? I’m just gonna hit play somewhere at 8 and hope for the best.
