Biggest Highs and Lows From The Broadcast – ryan

EATHER IT WAS A PRETY PREDICTABLE CELEBRATION OF TELEVISION OR Stephen Colbert’s Audition or Spreads Both, but the 77^th Primeime Emmys on Sunday Sure Ended Up Giving off a Lot of Saturday Night Live midseason episodes vibes.

From the opening creation-of-television skit with host Bargatze Night Joined by Snl‘s Bowen Yang, Mikey Day and James Austin Johnson, The CBS-Broadcast ceremony from the Peacock theater in downtown los Angeles very much like the Peacock Network-and not in a good way.

The Starting Skit Had the Repeated Tagline of “Nobody Knows” from Snl ‘S viral Bargatze-Fruit “Washington’s Dream” segments, which was funny the first time. Howver, after that, The Recently CBS-Pink-Slipped Colbert Upstaged Bargatze By receiving the first standing ovation of the Night As he handed out the opening award to The Studio’s Rogen set For Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

Looking at the Big Picture, Colbert May Be the HIGH-Profile Sacrifial Lamb for the New Donald Trump-Fryently regime at paramount, but this was emmys that had no desire to reinvent the wheel, and sadly, it showed.

It wasn’t much of a surprise that The Studio, The Pitt (We won’t call it a comeback, noah wyle) and Adolescencewith some standouts from Hacks, Severance and Pledge‘S Cristin Milliot on the Side, Well Deservedly Cleaned Up. True, Someone somewhere’s Jeff Hiller Taking the Outstanding Supporting act in a comedy series was a genuine shock. Everybody and Their Dog, and Former Paramount Boss Shari Redstone, Knew The late Show with Stephen Colbert Was Going to Win and It Did to Chants of “Stephen, Stephen!” and a Prince Reference from the man Himself.

Otherwise, in a Small-Screen Environment Shifting Focus Faster than the OwnerShip of Warner Bros. Discovery, it was as if the quaaludes kicked in way too.

On the Red Carpet Earlier in the Day, Bargatze Promised the Night Waled Be Fun, Dumb and Silly. KEEPING TO HIS EVEN EARLIER PROMISE OF DONATING $ 100,000 to the Boys and Girls’ Clubs of America and Subtracting Money Away for Long Speeches, the Grammy-Nominated Comedian was telling the Truth in one of Those Three traits.

HELL, Based on tonight’s safety-first ceremony and the Languid Pace Estabished by Bargatze and Reinforced by Early Jennifer Coolidge, Maybe a Telethon-Themed Emmys Waouldn’t be the Worst Idea Ever.

Surah, The Pitt’s Katherine Lanasa First Cost the Boys and Girls Some Cash With Her Slightly Longer Speech Near the Top of the Show. Yet, the time was spent going on and on with a gimmick that became tired and kind of mean-spirted Quickly. In fact, rightful it should Cost Bargatze Himself Some Dough – Certainly Cost Him Some MUCH Needed Laughs and Cred.

And, as you have has time, the stakes were phony and weak. AS BARGATZE ANNOUNCED AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SHOW, CBS ENDED UP PONYING UP $ 100,000 AND THE HOST THREW IN MORE WENT SUM WENT DEEP INTO THE RED – ALL OF WHICH THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS OF AMERICAN AREC Sweet.

Truth be told, with some on-screen factoids and thankuyn, there are Are a few winners (Let’s Say Elder‘s dan gilroy) Who has more than 45 Seconds of something to say. On top of that, workshing and kids for going long it up more than time. Maybe Ignoring Politics, Trump, Masked Ice Abductions and the Divisions Ripping at America Right Now, The Paramount-Awned Network Have Commonted Like First-Time Winner Hannah Einbinder did in Her More than Ice and Statement on the Middle East.

At Least the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy-Winning Hacks Star was in the moment, unlike this bubble-wrapped show. I UNDERSTAND NOT WANTING TO OFFEND Trump and Suffer the White House’s Wrath or Have Some Population Peep, but if you have to embrace out-of-touch, this emmys was the way to go.

Night, you should have brought out that swear jar too, Because this show was Simply Boring.

ALREADY FACING A LOESS BATTLE TONIGHT AGAINST THE ATLANTA FALCONS AND THE MINNESOTO VIKINGS ON NBC’S and against YouTube every day, It was like the emmys didn’t really wanting to try.

To the preposition Paradise Julianne Nicholson, with to get the time and talents of The White Lotus‘Walton Goggins and Parker Posey Chatting About Thai Food (As But One Example), Aiming for the Milquetoast of “Feel Good TV” JUST WASN’t a winning strategy in this 249^th Year of the USA.

The First Awards Show of the Now Skydance-Awned Paramount Empire, Tonight’s Emmys Didn’t Do Much of A Job Promoting CBS Shows. LOTS OF ADS OBVIOUSLY, But on the Show itself, there was only a nod for 25 years of Survivor. Tat that Very Snl-ish jeff probst-fruit sequence tourned into a john Oliver (HBO) vs. Snl (NBC) TRIBE VOTE WITH THE FORE WINNING AND GIVING A Superfast Vote with Two Bleeps. Late Snl50: The Anniversary Special took home the variety special trophy with Lorne Michaels Removed ABout Winning the Award Back in 1975 – and Bargatze Made A Point of Thaaning the Snl Ep for the emmy gig.

With the UFC Coming to Paramount+ in the New Year, Where Was the Octagon Wen We Needed It? That Waled have put some real money on the table for the boys and girls clubs.
