Fans try to keep cool before Emmy Awards

Singing reality show “The Voice” won an Emmy award in the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program category here at the 67th annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony.

Stewart, who left the “Daily Show” earlier this year, warned the theater audience that the perils of leaving TV include no applause or free food.

FX head John Landgraf caused a stir in August when he said “there is simply too much television” during the summer Television Critics Association press tour, and at the Emmys on Sunday, Andy Samberg tried to prove his point with an opening song that highlighted the incredible amount of shows on the air right now. After a few odd Bill Cosby jokes, he delved into diversity and declared “Racism is over!” “This is the most diverse group of nominees in Emmys history”.

As far as jokes, Samberg said you can definitely count on one thing. “Don’t fact-check that”. Also winning big were perennial favorite “Veep“, which took outstanding comedy series, while limited series “Olive Kitteridge” won best limited series. “There has been a awful mistake clearly”, Hamm said. “It’s impossible to have done this show with this incredible cast… I’ve been off for 6 or 7 weeks, this is the first applause I’ve heard [in weeks]”.

It was truly exciting to finally see Viola Davis make history as the first African American to win the best actress Emmy.

And to the Taraji P. Hensons, the Kerry Washingtons, the Halle Berrys, the Nicole Beharies, the Meagan Goods, to Gabrielle Union: Thank you for taking us over that line.

Uzo Aduba, who plays Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren in “Orange” is nominated for her second acting Emmy.

Janney, who won for her role in the sitcom “Mom“, explained that she was feeling nervous and overwhelmed to have been the first victor of the night and wanted some friendly support. “Certainly he is the sentimental favourite going into Emmy night”.

Sure enough, even 15 minutes after Samberg’s announcement on stage, the info Samberg gave out worked and it was possible to watch HBO Now.

He’s excited for the opportunity, even though he realizes that in some ways, it’s a thankless job because so many judgmental viewers on social media are just waiting to pounce.

“I’d like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community…. My hair is wet!” bemoaned “Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland.

Ricky Gervais said getting out of his auto was like “walking into an oven” and started unbuttoning his shirt during his interview with Seacrest, threatening to go full “Simon Cowell”.
