Emmys update: Best shows on TV
Comedy legend Bob Newhart introduced the nominees for best comedy. As Dale points out, Newhart has always looked old, but now he is really starting to look old. He makes a few jokes, but ends up talking a little bit longer than he probably needed to and eventually his rambling begins to show his age as much as his face does.
Tina Fey speaks on behalf of “30 Rock,” which wins again for best comedy. She sweetly thanks the families of the cast and crew for allowing their lives to be ruined over the past four years.
She also thanks NBC execs for allowing “30 Rock” to stay on the air, even though their show is way more expensive than a talk show.
The ageless Sigourney Weaver presents the nominees for best drama, stating that one could argue we are in a golden era of TV dramas.
“Mad Men” repeats as best drama on TV. Matthew Weiner says that it has been an incredible year, what with their win and the election and all. The election? Um, ok. Pretty sure that is the first political reference of the night.
He then says some things about something else I am sure is important, but I can’t actually understand what he is saying because seeing January Jones and Christina Hendricks on stage has melted my brain.
NPH concludes with a salute of, “may we see you again on broadcast television again next year.”
