Los Angeles -- Conan O'Brien, Christian Slater and Kate Walsh will be presenters at "The 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards" show in Los Angeles, ABC said Thursday.

Comedians Kathy Griffin and Don Rickles also are scheduled to present together, as are TV stars Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris.

The star-studded gala is to air live from the Nokia Theatre Sept. 21.

"As we near the telecast, there will be more sets of presenters that will surprise almost everyone," executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement.

"We are pleased to have such comedic figures as Kathy Griffin and Don Rickles presenting together. In addition, we are excited to re-pair Kristin Chenoweth and Neil Patrick Harris together, as the chemistry they displayed at this year's Primetime Emmy nominations (announcement) was just terrific."
