He did one already.

Temporary brain freeze.

Nice of John Oliver to give Conan a shout out.

Oliver was predictable but not undeseved.

i love last week tonight, however really doesn’t feel like a fair comparison. oliver does 30 shows a year, one topic a week. colbert does what, 200 a year?, with the news of the day often changing minutes before taping. peabodys are nice, but it would also be nice for the late show to be recognized by its peers.

[SnarkShark]

Shut up Reggie.

[AimingforYoko]

When is Lorne going to retire?

I wanna know what Adam Driver did.

He knows.

Emmys…it would be perfectly ok to just say who is nominated, play the clip, and announce the winner.  Really!  Give it a try, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Me either.

I liked the audience participation in the song — looked like they were having fun. I wasn’t sure if that was Rita Wilson or Cheryl Crow! 😜😂

Not fun for me.  Who are they trying to pull in with this format?  They lost me after about 4 minutes.

[shantown]

I don't think SNL should be eligible in most of these categories, but they do pull off an absolutely amazing feat of writing, acting, costuming, stage decoration, and more every week so it's hard not to recognize the hard work they put in SOMEHOW.

[Quickbeam]

2 shout outs to the great Norm MacDonald. 

[DollEyes]

Reggie Watts is becoming almost as obnoxious as James Corden. 🙄

[SnarkShark]

Worst car commercial ever.

[wallflower75]

Is this a car ad or an ad for television?

Its just a mess.  Long, boring, yet also filled with lame comedy and whatever Reggie Watts is doing.

 

And more commercials (and BAD ones) than ever.

[Indigo Luna]

Omg its bugging me that I can't remember the name of the guy who played that security guard with Ken Jeong! His face looks so familiar to me.

Dare we hope?  

[thuganomics85]

Have fallen behind on my CBS viewings: there's more FBI shows now?!

[SnarkShark]

Is this equal time between commercials and show?  Or just feel like it?

Finally some funny people on stage.

 

edit - They made more of less than anyone else on this crappy show...

It's Dick Wolf's world, we're just living in it.

[thuganomics85]

Glad to see the Schitt's Creek cast, but part of me was hoping they were going to be in character.  The Roses at the Emmys would be amazing!

[scarynikki12]

Schitt’s Creek reunion!!!

Does he do those, too?  I thought he was exclusively on NBC.

[Indigo Luna]

"now it says to fold in the cheese, david"

[scarynikki12]

Eugene made the Emmy writers mad hahaha!

[SnarkShark]

Lasso lost one...

[thuganomics85]

Oh, damn, finally had a little surprise!  Hacks takes writing!

[scarynikki12]

Hacks!!!!!

[wallflower75]

Was NOT expecting that one, but good for the Hacks team!

[AimingforYoko]

Upset, I think Ted Lasso was hurt by having two different eps nominated.

[mojoween]

Do you have to have been a Schitt’s Creek viewer to have found that bit funny?  Like I missed an in joke?

[SnarkShark]

It was very thin material, but Eugene actually can make stuff WORK.

[thuganomics85]

Even the audience seemed to have liven up a bit over Hacks' win.

Boooo. I just wanted Michael K to win.

Me too.  Michael K. Williams was a force of nature.  I will miss him dearly.

[SnarkShark]

I wanted Janitor to stop Zach from getting on stage.

 

Too many noms for the show stopped that.

[thuganomics85]

Hacks takes director!  Might be a competition after-all!

[ShadowHunter]

I guess I should watch Hacks. I have HBO Max so I'll add it to the list.

[scarynikki12]

Hacks again!!

[wallflower75]

This suddenly got VERY interesting...I mean, no doubt whatsoever that Sudekis will win Best Actor, but I think Best Comedy is definitely up in the air!

[ShadowHunter]

Ugh these skits.

[KittenPokerCheater]

I feel like nominating three Ted Lasso Episodes made it harder for them to win, actually.  

I still hope Ted Lasso wins best comedy.  The ensemble is so damn strong.  But I understand that other shows are definitely strong too.

[mojoween]

The fly.  This is what is passing for comedy on CBS.

[shantown]

Are we really doing a VP debate skit? For real? Real timely jokes here.

[SnarkShark]

Zero interest in a Sopranos prequel.

I'm kinda interested to see if the kid has any chops and to see how close they get the younger versions of the crew.

[kittykat]

Both comedy/drama director awards go to women!!! And yes that does matter

[SnarkShark]

Fab hair on this lady, but it leads to another lame skit.

[Artsda]

The fly was stupid.

Loved seeing Schitts Creek cast together.

[wonderwoman]

what fresh hell is this… a support group!

[wallflower75]

Oh God, what is this?  Whyyyyy???

[thuganomics85]

Dr. Phil, now?  What is happening?!
