I Have Watched The Emmys

Why? Conan was hosting. And he did a great job, just as I expected. Conan's intro skit was him struggling to get to the Emmys by wandering through different TV realities like Lost, The Office, House and 24. The latter of which was obviously my favorite. Conan hilariously kept referring to Jack Bauer as "Kiefer," despite the in-character insistence of "My name is Jack Bauer!" They argued about who Chloe should be helping, and I about died from pure joy. Sure, 24's fourth wall came crashing down, but it was the amalgam of my two favorite TV shows, and I loved it.

Behold, he who can make an award show fun to watch.

Anyway, Kiefer won for best dramatic actor, 24 won for best drama, but Conan somehow lost again for variety, music or comedy series. That's 4 nominations in that category (and 11 for writing) with no wins. I'm still working on how that's even logically possible. Give the man an atom angel, already!


PS- Go here to watch Conan's bits at the Emmys. And do it quickly, before the NBC lawyers find out.
