Chris Hardwick — host of live The Walking Dead after show Talking Dead on AMC — just popped up at the 2017 American Music Awards currently airing live on ABC, and fans on Twitter are concerned the reality TV jack of all trades won’t make it to Talking Dead by the time it airs.

Not to worry, Talking Dead fans: the show will air at 10/9c immediately after The Walking Dead with Hardwick in the interviewer’s chair. The American Music Awards is hosted by Black-ish star Tracee Ellis Ross, not Hardwick, who took the stage alongside The Mayor star Lea Michele to introduce performer Nick Jonas.
So does this mean no @AMCTalkingDead tonight #chrishardwick #amas

Both the American Music Awards and Talking Dead are filmed in Los Angeles, about half an hour apart — but Hardwick is already on his way over to talk all things dead.
It was an absolute pleasure presenting at the #AMAs w/ @LeaMichele! Thank you, Lea!! Now racing across town to jump into the @AMCTalkingDead chair in a little more than an hour!
