Although the show has taken the step of engaging Sharpe as a host, there are no details yet on how the show will be produced while coronavirus restrictions, such as social-distancing, are in place.

Even Sharpe has not been informed as to how he will perform his duties. “I haven’t heard from ‘the powers that be’ on exactly how we’re doing it,” Kanan told Soap Hub. “I’m not sure if I’ll be hosting from my living room or a dedicated place.”

In the meantime, Kanan is developing a monologue that will be delivered in a world that has changed immeasurably from the last time that the awards show aired.

“It’s going to be challenging,” says Kana. “I saw Tom Hanks doing one on SNL without a studio audience, which can be tough — and he’s Tom Hanks! I’m going to give it everything I have and be as entertaining as I can be. Last time, I performed in my living room my dog said I killed it.”

In addition to hosting the show, Kanan might be lucky enough to pick up one or more awards. His series is nominated for multiple ISAs including Best Drama Series and Best Lead Actor – Drama.

The 11th Annual Indie Series Awards virtual ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 18, 2020. You can find out more at their site, indieseriesawards.com.
