Trump will be Emmy presenter

Sure, the 56th annual Primetime Emmys next Sunday were going to be pretty special anyway, but now they're going to have the self-professed star power of reality television's No. 1 attraction. Donald Trump leads the latest round of confirmed Emmy presenters.
Trump will be joined by "Arrested Development" star Jason Bateman, "Scrubs" and "Garden State" frontman Zach Braff, Amber Tamblyn, Jon Stewart and Teri Hatcher.
Stewart is a previous Emmy winner and is up for two more awards for his Comedy Central hit "The Daily Show," while Tamblyn is experiencing Primetime Emmy jitters for the first time with a nomination for "Joan of Arcadia."
Thanks to his executive producing responsibilities on NBC's "The Apprentice," Trump is also up for his very first Emmy. The second season of "The Apprentice" will premiere this Thursday.
Although Bateman isn't personally up for an award, the actor's struggling but adored Fox comedy is looking for a boost from its Emmy nominations, including a nod for outstanding comedy series. At least "Development" has managed to earn Emmy recognition, which is more than Braff can say for "Scrubs," which has been regularly shunned by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences despite a passionate fan base.
Garry Shandling is hosting the show for ABC.
