From the CBS website, a wrinkle for the upcoming 57th Emmy Awards broadcast:
Get in tune with this year's Primetime Emmy Awards broadcast with a new contest in tribute to television's favorite theme songs entitled "Emmy Idol," with performances by Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars"), Gary Dourdan (CSI:), Grammy Award-winning R&B artist Macy Gray, Emmy Award winner and current nominee Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace"), Emmy Award winner and current nominee William Shatner ("Boston Legal"), real estate mogul and current Emmy nominee Donald Trump ("The Apprentice") and famed opera star Frederica von Stade.
Throughout the Emmys broadcast, in an "American Idol"-esque contest, these television and music personalities will trigger fans' memories of some of their favorite television theme songs. Bell will perform the theme song from "Fame;" Dourdan and Gray will join forces to perform "Movin' On Up" from "The Jeffersons;" Mullally and Trump will together perform the theme song from "Green Acres;" Shatner and von Stade will team up to perform the theme to "Star Trek." During the live broadcast, viewers can return here to vote for their favorite of the theme songs performed during "Emmy Idol." They will also be able to vote via text message. The winner will be announced toward the end of the broadcast.
