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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It was very cool to be honored and be acknowledged in that way for the first time ever, being nominated for an Emmy.
It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.
I grew up loving TV so much. It was such an integral part of my youth, and I was completely an Emmy geek.
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.
To my surprise, I have an Emmy nomination, and I have never even been to the Emmys! So it's like I am Cinderella. But actually having thought about it, I am Cinder-elder!
And when I was a kid being an actor was not cool. I'm thirty now and when I was a kid in the 80s that wasn't a cool thing to be.
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.
Actually I walk around with the Emmy wherever I go, but I'm very casual about it.
I never thought about what people would say about me. I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.
