Not laugh-out-loud funny, but decent enough.

Sorry, am I liking something you don't like?
No, not at all..this was the exact response I was looking for..thanks

I saw some of it and the opening skit (We solved it) about diversity in Hollywood was amusing :

At least these Hollywood liberals can laugh at themselves unlike some of the posters here who take everything so seriously.

The Emmys was brilliant. Three hours of pure entertainment. Best ever.

I don't know why everyone acts so shocked and triggered that most of Hollywood is liberal and doesn't support Trump. When has the entertainment industry ever been a champion of right-wing causes?

Oh yea, I forgot, the outrage machine needs fuel.

Carry on.
This is a forum to discuss topics, the thread title asked if people watched it. People are allowed to give their opinion. Don’t like it, don’t post here.

No.

Yeah, they did.

Glad I didn't watch.

Me, too.



LOL at the phony outrage over something no one saw.

The outrage is all about some perceived left-leaning individuals in the industry. Just because these rightists control the Senate, the House, the Presidency and probably soon, the Supreme Court, they think that TV should also be under their supervision, with no dissenters permitted.

I didn't watch it, and I typically haven't through the years, even when it used to be they thanked God and chose not to use political platforms. All the prestige of these events is gone now, because today, it's nothing but a bunch of left-wing crybabies who haven't gotten their way.

Diversity?? That certainly could not have shown up at all there.

No.
I kept my 48 year streak alive, of never watching it.
