Some Desperate Housewives and two Baby Mamas will take to the Emmy stage next month.

ABC has announced the first wave of Emmy Award presenters, and they include the ladies of Wisteria Lane - Marcia Cross, Dana Delany, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria Parker and Nicollette Sheridan - who will all present together, and former Saturday Night Live chums Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

"It's always fun to come up with unique pairings, cast reunions and surprising personalities as presenters on the Emmy show, and this year we've got a number of those, beginning with our first presenter announcement today," Ken Ehrlich, the show's executive producer, said. "And the good news is, we've got plenty more to come."

Also set to grace the NOKIA Theatre stage are Hugh Laurie and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, both of whom are nominated, for House and The New Adventures of Old Christine, respectively.

Fey and Poehler are up for statuettes as well. Fey can take home four trophies while Poehler is looking for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series bragging rights.

The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air live Sept. 21 on ABC at 8 pm/ET. - Joyce Eng
