Jeb Bush makes cameo at the Emmys

Julia Louis-Dreyfus said in her acceptance speech that her comedy show “Veep” felt like a “sobering political documentary” these days, and promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

Saying he was “between jobs”, Bush appeared just in time to whisk a running late Jimmy Kimmel on the way to the award show.

Mark Burnett said in an interview at Sunday night’s Emmy Awards that he had no problem with host Jimmy Kimmel blaming him for Donald Trump’s current presidential run. Kimmel’s show was up for an Emmy, and it’s not clear what the joke would have been if he had won – he lost to John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight – but since Kimmel didn’t get a trophy, Damon took his revenge to his and the crowd’s evident pleasure.

Later in the opening, Kimmel blamed “Celebrity Apprentice” producer Mark Burnett for making Trump famous.

Later, Kimmel doubled down some more on Mark Burnett, the British producer who gave the the world “The Apprentice”: “Thank you for coming all the way from England to tear us all apart with your intricate plot – it worked”.

Transparent creator Jill Soloway and Jeffrey Tambor also voice their displeasure with Trump backstage after picking up their awards for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series respectively.

“He is a complete unsafe monster and any time I can call out Trump for being an inheritor to Hitler, I will”, Soloway said.

“Did you know you can make $12/hour driving for Uber?” Speaking to reporters backstage, she called Trump “one of the most unsafe monsters to ever approach our lifetimes”. If you run a positive campaign, the voters ultimately will make the right choice.

Bush’s limo had a “Jeb!” He paused. “Jimmy, that was a joke, and shave that wig off your face, you godless Hollywood hippie”. “2016” bumper sticker with the “16” crossed out and replaced by “20”.

For her part, Kate McKinnon thanked Hillary Clinton when she accepted her best supporting actress in a comedy series award for her work on “Saturday Night Live”. Her brittle portrayal of the Democratic nominee is one of her signature roles on the NBC comedy. “You’re a pretty big loser”. Clinton tweeted later, with a clip of McKinnon impersonating her.
