This Sunday's Emmys will open with a musical number that host Ryan Seacrest "may or may not be" part of, depending on "how confident I feel on the 16th," he told the Hollywood Reporter. "I’m going to try to have a sense of humor about it, and I hope the people watching have a sense of humor, too."

Of course, if Ryan does dare to croon, we sure hope Simon Cowell is there to offer crusty evaluation so we can see those two go at it. Always a highlight of their combo appearances on "American Idol."
