It was very cool to be honored and be acknowledged in that way for the first time ever, being nominated for an Emmy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.
I didn't know I was cool, but I was very flattered that some of the younger comedy writers came up to talk to me at the Emmys. I found that gratifying.
The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.
Truly what the Emmys are about are the machine behind them, and Oscars are the same way, where if you have a big enough machine behind you, you get nominated, because truly how many of the best performances actually win... not many.
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.
I earned two Emmy nominations for writing, and two of the shows I had written were nominated for best in their category.
So many people have won Emmys, so many people have won multiple Emmys that I think it's a degraded award.
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.
I was very fortunate in all of my career in television to have a lot of things that received a lot of awards recognition.
I am always a little surprised when anyone sees anything I make, so being nominated for the Oscar is beyond amazing - what a tremendous honor.
