I caught about half of the Emmy Awards last night and couldn't get too interested. Maybe if I'd seen most of the nominated shows, it would have been different. But it was a lot of the same old, same old…with stars singing (badly and intentionally so) a lot of vintage TV theme songs and no end to the self-congratulation. David Letterman came out and did a tribute to Johnny Carson that I'm sure was sincere but it looked like…well, it was like someone was holding his family hostage and they'd sent him out to deliver the speech under duress. For some reason, the director kept cutting to an audience shot of Conan O'Brien who looked like his family was also being held at gunpoint.
The best thing I saw was a brief segment by Jon Stewart. Here's a link to an online video of what he did. (The video is on the site of crooksandliars.com, which is a good place to look for current events video clips.)
