Shameless CBS plug is shameless.  I wonder if they're going to take time out of the telecast to remind everyone we can watch Star Trek: Discovery ONLY on CBS Access!!!

F- CBS.  The only 2 shows I would want to watch on CBS - Star Trek and The Good Fight with Baranski.  Not paying extra for those shows.  Probably not on regular tv as the stars are not a white men.

I really wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to win.  But she had to act thrilled that Laura Dern won -as it is her hubby's show.

[PradaKitty]

The announcer DOESN'T NEED TO YELL!!!!

He's horrible.

Hunker down people, this looks to be another long one...or not

No kidding. Some of these women are not much older than I and they look amazing. I'm jealous.

[ebk57]

Sounds like Mr Announcer Guy has toned it down.  Think someone talked to him?

[Amethyst]

Sounds like Fowler's toned it down on the screaming.  The producers must be on Twitter or reading this board, lol.  

[Misslindsey]

I think when Announcer Guy dials it down like this past commercial break it wasn't that bad.

[jjj]

Perfect speech, Lorne Michael -- 1975-76 was remarkable for its time and was crazy.  This year, though.. brilliant moments.  Plus some much-needed solace.

Go SNL my dad will be happy. 

[ebk57]

Oh, and I loved Allison Janney and Anna Farris!

[opus]

Is Colbert hosting or that screaming Kevin Hart impersonator?

[Macbeth]

Donald Glover won!!!  I squealed when he showed up on my screen with his emmy.

Could you look more bored Lorne??  I mean seriously.

I know.  What gives?

[vb68]

SNL Baby!

Hee Lorne lives up to his rep. He does seem hard to impress, but I think he was moved.

[chitowngirl]

Could it be anything else but SNL this year? I was hoping for Documentary Now.

They are so natural and good together.

[thuganomics85]

Ah, first Westworld skit!  Complete with Stephen Colbert (censored) butt shot!

[bmoore4026]

He still has the bowtie on :D

[Misslindsey]

Heh an abandoned Apple Store. Every day since November 8th. Hee!

[jjj]

More Colbert than I ever expected to see.  Or needed to see.  ETA:  Oh, wait, just saw the abs.  Never mind!  (Well, someone's abs)

LOL at Stephen as a "HOST". That's fantastic.

[ShadowHunter]

Love the Westworld skit.

[Misslindsey]

Titus!

[wallflower75]

Loved that skit!

As a robot!

[gatopretoNYC]

I knew it was a long shot, but I was rooting for Billy on the Street. Several years ago, my husband & I heard this guy shouting on the corner, looked out the window, and saw this guy with a microphone and one camera filning. I never thought I would have any interest, nor that anything would come of it. When it aired, however, I completely fell in love with it. The first seasons, imo, were better, with lots of real New Yorkers, as opposed to the latest one, with mostly celebrities. I did love Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and. John Oliver on it though. The latter two were filmed right outside my building, and I missed them! :(

[unicorn23]

That Westworld bit was genius. Titus and his tiny hat was the icing on the cake.

[Misslindsey]

Yay Handmaid's Tale!

[thuganomics85]

The Handmaid's Tale takes writing.  Was hoping Better Call Saul will finally get one, but I'm sure it is deserving.

[bmoore4026]

Sneakers with a tuxedo?  Really, dude?

[jjj]

YES!  The Handmaid's Tale!  Horrifying and amazing, that pilot. 

[wallflower75]

Okay, the announcer guy's comment was funny there... "Proving it does pay off to do your homework!"

Aaaaand the band's playing 'You Don't Own Me.'  Oh, how appropriate!

Eh, he's a writer.

I cool with it. Men do not really do that much fun with a tux.

[catrox14]

I was hoping Westworld would win.

Agree, except that it would have been marginally okay with black soles/bottoms.

[Misslindsey]

I find James Corden annoying. He seems like a nice guy, but I still find him annoying.

I was torn between Westworld and The Handmaid's Tale.  Glad for The Handmaid's Tale!

Did anyone honestly think Alec Baldwin wasn't going to win this one?

Yes.  I have friends who love him.  I tried.  I really did, but...no

 

 

And Alec!!!!

[thuganomics85]

It's weird: Corden seems nice enough, but there is something about him that I find eye-rolling and tired.  Meanwhile, Meyers can come off kind of smug, but I find him amusing.

Of course Alec Baldwin was going to win for playing Donald Trump.

[Misslindsey]

Good for Alec! Though I would have been happy with a Titus, Tony, or Matt win.

[burghgal]

I was hoping Titus would win, but figured it would be Alec.  Next year.

[AimingforYoko]

Baldwin's win was completely about who he was playing.

[jjj]

Alec Baldwin!  Let the tweets begin!!!!!

[catrox14]

Bleh, disappointed that Alec Baldwin won. He's not even the best Trump on TV.
