The Emmy's have released their first official promo, and in the clip, host Andy Samberg gives us a bit more insight on the 7 words he's not allowed to use on television.

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine star talked about the award show the only way he knows how: with comedy. In the 30-second promotional trailer, Samberg sums up seven words that sound like the NSFW words he's been prohibited from using on Emmy night.

"We've all heard of the seven dirty words you can't say on TV," Samberg says. "But what about the seven words that sound dirty that you can say?"

Although fans have their fingers crossed for a cameo by his Saturday Night Live co-star, Samberg says there is a "0.00 percent chance that Justin Timberlake shows up." But the comedian will have some tricks up his sleeve.

"Buckle your seat belts, Emmy viewers!" Samberg said in a statement following the announcement he was be hosting the big night. "Like, in general you should buckle your seat belts in your car. In fact, even if you're not an Emmy viewer, you should buckle your seat belt. It can be dangerous on the road. Also, if you're not an Emmy viewer, you should strongly consider becoming one this year, because I'm hosting, and it's gonna be a wild ride. So buckle your seat belts."

The Emmy Awards are set to air September 20.
