After more than 70 years of in-person ceremonies, the Emmys were forced to go semi-virtual in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic. And apparently ABC chose the best person for the job, as a majority 52% of Emmy viewers said Jimmy Kimmel was “brilliant” hosting Sunday’s night show. Conversely, 28% thought the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” star was “just okay” while the other 20% of haters voted he was “awful,” according to our recent poll results. What did you think of Kimmel’s third time as Emmys host? Sound off down in the comments section.
