Thanks for doing a recap of this. I can never actually bring myself to watch the Emmys, but I'm always morbidly curious about which bodies are thrown clear when the train crashes. Hilarious, as always.

ummm WHY was Lauren Conrad:
a. a presenter
b. a designer of dresses for the night

I don't get how that's fair to the other people who... have real careers as tv actors and designers.

Also, she looked like a spray-tanned mess.

I used to love The Hills and now I'm over it and wish everyone else would stop fawning over Lauren and Speidi.

Bad news: so my mother had the great pleasure of informing me that was Lily TOMLIN, not Lily ALLEN in the Laugh-In bit. Seeing as though both are untalented and unfunny, I think it's a fair mistake. It's like confusing your Jonas Brothers -- does it really matter? You've got a blanket of suckitude to cover you.

Good news: she was so distracted by that, she didn't yell at me about the dick jokes. Score!

Other than wanting to yell at you for all the unfunny old jokes (I am 59 and I have no doubt I can kick you punk assm LOL), getting your perspective was good fun - and certainly a lot less painful than actually watching it would have been (okay - I would have dozed off, I admit).

Young man, woman and/or other - anyone who likes Friday Night Lights (and admits not liking Oprah) is all right in my book.

Thanks!

Holland Taylor got screwed.

Someone should explain to Laura Linney the founding fathers were far more maverick than "community organizers," as they were actually willing to fight for their country, not just talk it to death.

And if you don't know who Tommy Smothers is, you probably shouldn't be writing for a TV website. (Shame on you, youngster.) ;)

haha great job LoLo! Mtm scared the bejeezus out of me. And I loved when Mrs McKlutzky got all pissed that her bit got cut! Poor Dana Delany is gonna be mortified when she sobers up and sees that clip of her arms flapping. Love ya

Thanks LoLo... now instead of recurring nightmares of being chased by tornadoes into a giant glass-walled mansion, I'm going to be tortured by recurring nightmares that Mary's gonna touch me and my arms are going to shrink down to just the bones, a few tendons and some wobbly leather... this fear is causing me to eat more Klondike bars than usual (12 instead of the more normal moderate six) in a desperate effort to avoid having this happen. Think of the children next time!

And awwww, Lily Tomlin has done some funny work in her career... have you never seen "9 to 5"? (sorry, as far as office humor flicks go, in my book Lily, Dolly & Jane in that film knock the crap out of "Office Space" every time)

Thanks for watching the show for us, though, and I'm on board with the Oprah hatin', mostly because I think she does us gays a giant disservice by not coming out (she could single-handedly end homophobia with one sentence, how much more good about yourself could you feel, right?)

love to you!

xoxo J-Mo :)

I loved Tina plugging her own show at the end of her speech. The bitch is good.

Hated the 5 host format.
Hated the Gorban.
Hated the Kathy Griffin hairpiece.

Thanks for recapping the Emmys so we don't have to actually watch it, LoLo. However, I can't get past 7:04 because all of your irrational Oprah-bashing.

I'm not on-board the Oprah Hate train. When you raise/donate as much money as she has and spent the majority of your life promoting good causes, then I'll take your opinion seriously.

And JMo, it's really stupid and selfish to hate on someone because they're not admitting to something to make YOUR life sweeter. Oprah isn't gay. I really wish she were...but she's not.

After dealing with so many rotten men, at this point she's probably not interested in sex at all. And anyone who has heard Gayle King talk for longer than 5 minutes knows this woman is far from gay. As a matter of fact, her main problem in life is that she's way too heterosexual.

I can tell you are under 25 from your ignorant comments about Oprah admitting she's gay to help gays become more accepted. Oprah is the first person on TV to show gays as HUMAN (on her talk show in the 80's). If it weren't for her, gays wouldn't be as accepted as they are in this society right now (even though we still have a long way to go for equal rights for gays). The fact that Ellen Degenerous, Rosie O'Donnell, etc. have been able to come out and STILL have a career can at least be indirectly attributed to Oprah's talk show. Why do you think Oprah was in Ellen's coming out episode?

Before you negatively judge someone, at least have an informed opinion.

hey blahblah... clearly you mistake my comments for serious criticism of the Cult Of Oprah (it is called "sarcasm" and is not meant to be taken seriously). Lighten up, hon, you can go ahead and keep thinking Oprah's straight all you want... just like I'ma keep thinking she's gay...

love, J-Mo :)

P.S. BTW, isn't calling someone "selfish and stupid" kind of "negatively judging someone"... considering you don't know me, either? Still, I love you for negatively guessing how old I am (by more than a decade), that was fabulous of you and I love you for it! *MWAH*

Yes, I'm negatively judging you...AND I ADMIT IT instead of pretending I'm just being sarcastic. I don't need to know you to judge you. Your "sense of humor" serves as just enough evidence that you are selfish and stupid. *MWAH*

Oh yea...notice I originally said "BEFORE you negatively judge someone, at least have an informed opinion." Obviously, my gripe isn't with you negatively judging, but judging based on lack of information, which = stupid opinion to me. But then, why should I even expect YOU to understand the sentence I wrote. Or are you just being "sarcastic" again? Or maybe deliberately obtuse?

"Lighten up, hon, you can go ahead and keep thinking Oprah's straight all you want..."

There you go assuming again...did I write that I think Oprah is straight? You might wanna go back and reread my original comment. I said I don't think she's gay. Does that automatically mean she's straight? Hmm....There are other options, ya know.

Wow blahblah, you need to lay off whatever it was you ate/drank/snorted* yesterday.

*please note that this is a joke and in no way am I implying that you crush up Reeses Pieces and snort them.

Jokes are jokes, you can think they're funny, accurate, stupid, or insignifigant, but please don't think they're serious.

I also am not a fan of Oprah for reasons that I will not list here, but you're attack on those that are trying to be funny is irrational. The responses to J-Mo are unnecessary and mean spirited. I hope you either find your sarcastic streak or a new website to post on.

Oh, and blahblah, never has a screen name been so accurate...

...er...getting back to the recap...

lolo--quite possibly the best recap ever. no lies. you pretty much kill me with every minute of it. didn't watch, but now feel as though i did, but with the funniest. host. ever.

p.s. i neither loathe nor love oprah. but the bitch puts out a pretty decent magazine. let's all just agree to disagree and start that fat bitch german-to-english dictionary drinking game.

p.p.s. j-mo:
*MWAH*!!!! love you, mean it.

Thank you so much LoLo for commenting on the excessive political humor. For whichever side people fall on politically I get sick of hearing at any of these award shows the political opinion overload of all these celebrites. I didn't see most of it but my sister said she had the displeasure of sitting through the MTV awards and the host pretty much did the same thing.

"Oh, and blahblah, never has a screen name been so accurate..."

Dear DrJerkAss, thanks but I'll hand over that crown to you.

Oh, the irony of me being attacked for "attacking" J-Mo's attacks on Oprah.

"Jokes are jokes, you can think they're funny, accurate, stupid, or insignifigant, but please don't think they're serious."

Jokes are also FUNNY. So sue me that I couldn't tell that J-Mo was "joking". At least LoLo's recap was funny, minus the whole "arrogant Oprah" comments (yep, I finished it later). And I'm glad that she actually recapped the snooze-fest for us. I'm not even a Oprah fan, but I will defend criticism that is so not based on reality. To me, saying Oprah needs to do more for gays to increase acceptance in society is like saying Michael Jordan needs to participate in slam dunk contests to increase the NBA's TV ratings. So I'm gonna point that out. And I will point it out just as nastily as J-Mo pointed out his opinion.

Snorting Reese's Pieces actually sounds like fun. Or was that a joke?

"I'm not even a Oprah fan, but I will defend criticism that is so not based on reality."

Oops, I mean I will criticize criticism that doesn't seem to have any basis in reality. That's what I get for eating/drinking/snorting Reeses Pieces too fast.

Couldn't watch the EMMYS but I'm glad Jeff Probst won.

I kept switching over everytime there was a commercial on PBS.

I hate Oprah too. That fat witch needs to shut up.
Hate her.
