When you feel an audience engaged and surprised and enthusiastic, reacting to what you've planned, that is the reward. It's better than the Emmys.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the most important thing about the Emmys stuff is just to enjoy it. It can get really stressful in weird ways, and I have definitely experienced that. This year, I really just want to have it be a fun celebration!
I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.
Emmys are wonderful and I'm thrilled to death that I have mine. But they're representative of a specific achievement, where this sort of thing is representative of how you've grown in your own industry.
The Emmys are flat-out fun.
Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.
I mean, the competition is really created by the buzz around the Emmys. It's a totally subjective thing.
The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.
I have an Emmy, but it's no big deal: work in TV news long enough, you eventually get one.
Actually I walk around with the Emmy wherever I go, but I'm very casual about it.
It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.
