On the Emmys

[jlh]

He was really good. I'm only surprised that the show ran long under his watch.

Now nothing will stop him from ruling the world.

However, now I'm all hyped up and will never sleep.

Oh, I also watched him on Larry King off my TIVO and he looked really hot, didn't he? Facial hair just becomes him so. He's like a little muppet with his little head. *pats*

And someone will have to stop me from writing a story in which Ryan wears the Henry VIII costume for Simon.

(countdown to Jon Stewart oscars!)

Low ratings for award shows have much more to do with who is up for an award than the host of the show. He's getting sort of mediocre reviews, about where Stewart was for the Oscars two years ago, and Stewart is doing the Oscars again. A lot of the crit of the show is that it was ungainly, which it is. But the fact that there wasn't a huge breakout hit on TV this year which would push a lot of viewers to the Emmys is the real reason the ratings were down.

(It happens for the Oscars, too—when there's a popular Oscar film, like titanic or LOTR, the ratings are higher than when there isn't.)

I think he'll probably be asked to do something else as he proved himself to be very competent. I'm not sure why there are so many people who don't like him. I mean, he's cheesy and ridiculous but at least he knows he's cheesy and ridiculous. Never mind that he'd rather produce.
