What was with Jon Hamm's beard? Is he currently shooting a Grizzly Adams biopic?

Was a teleprompter malfunction really to blame for Stephen Amell and Mindy Kaling's rocky presenter banter?

"I saw my side of it," Kaling us. "But I had less to do, so I'm not 100 percent [sure what happened]. Steven was moving really fast, and I just had to smile sweetly and hold on to his arm, so I didn't need a tele-prompter so much."

When did Julia Louis-Dreyfus cook up that Emmy acceptance speech that had her mimicking her Veep character (Vice President Selina Meyer) needing prompting from bag-handler Gary (fellow winner Tony Hale)?

Who was the random mystery man side-stepping behind host Neil Patrick Harris during an ad-break interstitial?
