Hahaha that was hilarious. They have good chemistry. Kind of wish they were hosting the actual emmys.

Had it not been for the boxing scene, I would have liked it.

- My feelings exactly! There is nothing funny about a man hitting a woman in the face. Sorry. Love the actors, but that scene just killed the laughter for me.

That was GREAT! Who is the emcee for the Emmy’s this year? Was hoping it was Jimmy Fallon again.

- Jane Lynch is hosting this year. That was so funny! I loved the part when he said you have to be able to pronounce Mariska Hargitay. Yep, that’s about right. Looking forward to the announcements!

  - May be learning to pronounce mariska’s name is to confuse, and instead she will have to say a very easy short name like Anna Torv?

    - Awww, that’s cute. You think the Emmys even know science fiction exists?

This was great. I love Melissa. How many takes do you think she needed to make it through the puppy shots? Looks like she was about to burst into laughter.

I would like so much to hear that Naya Rivera, Glee’s highlight of S2, be nominated!!!
She really deserves more recognition from professionnals …even if Glee’s S2 sucked!

When are they going to have Joel Mchale host the Emmy’s? Seriously?

Okay, aside from the boxing thing (laaaaaaaame), this was hilarious. The puppy! And the chicken! And “I’ll… do stuff with my hands.”

Hey Joel McHale! I’ll do whatever it takes. I’ll do things with my hands. And I think you know what I really mean by that….or am I being too subtle?

Loved the Audi A7…

Awesome. Sookie can take a punch! And she was fantastic in “Brideshead Revisited”.

Love it! Can we please have these two host the actual show? I’m wary of Jane Lynch, honestly.
