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.
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!
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.
The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.
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.
I have an Emmy, but it's no big deal: work in TV news long enough, you eventually get one.
The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.
So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.
I mean, the competition is really created by the buzz around the Emmys. It's a totally subjective thing.
It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.
