At the recent Emmy Awards, "The Late Show With David Letterman" won for best variety series. It was the third time in its six years on the air - the second in a row. It brought the "Late Show" Emmy total to 7. Meanwhile, "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" was overlooked again, having only won two total Emmys in the same period.
The lowest point in the already low show had to be when Leno came out to present an award. He immediately launched into his usual "if I talk really fast in a high-pitched effeminate shriek maybe I can make people think that my lame, pointless crap is actually funny" delivery with his ever present idiot-grin and head bob. Then, when the winners went up on stage, rather than acting the same as the NORMAL presenters (you know, the ones with SOME sense and taste) and stepping back while the winners give their acceptance speech, Leno could be clearly seen in the background the entire time, schmoozing away while checking to make certain he was visibly on camera. What a creep!
