t as in trouble rhymes with g as in gee we're screwed!
i wasn't going to blog again today but man i can't help it!
i just turned on the TV to numb my brain while i ate dinner (honey saffron chicken w/ corn, carrots & zucchini - leftovers from dinner that i made with my man last night... mmm!) and stumbled upon the emmy's, which i had no idea were on.
they were just starting and i had the absolute pleasure of watching conan o'brien do his opening bit -- which completely renewed my love for the man. i knew he ruled when i watched him 10 years ago bring out a human-in-an-ostrich costume during his late night show, that ran around the stage pooping presents out of his butt and ruining the chef's setup, who was in the middle of a cooking demonstration.
pooping ostrich aside, conan just did a hilarious musical number about how NBC was doomed, and TV was too. viewers numbers are down because of the internet, ads make no money because of TiVO and NBC is sucking because all its good shows ended and everything since then has bombed... ha! i love that the network let him sing it, and i love that he performed it so dang well. conan, you rule.
ok, then ellen pompeo came out to present an award, and was grabbing her ass the whole time. hello, get your dress tailored so you can walk in it, girlfriend!!
heh --now conan has bob newhart "trapped" in an air-tight container w/ exactly 3 hours worth of air, and a countdown clock -- in order to keep the emmy's from running over their alotted 3 hour time slot. awesome.
two commercial breaks later and conan brings out the segway-podium so winners can save time by riding it across the stage and doing their acceptance speech in motion...
and here i thought awards shows were dead! i mean, i can't say i'm impressed with who is actually winning (none of my favorites), but the in-between antics rock. sure beats watching star wars episode 2 on the next channel... or, say, doing some chores like i should be spending my time...
