    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The cast of Schitt's Creek (2015) reunited to present 2 awards to Hacks (2021). There was a slight technical snafu with the teleprompter in which Eugene Levy confessed that he asked a room full of comedy writers to "lift" some of his lines off of the teleprompter. What a lot of people didn't realize is that the teleprompter gag was part of the Schitt's Creek (2015) cast's on-camera bit.
    • Quotes

      Announcer: From Schitt's Creek please welcome Emmy Winners Dan Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Annie Murphy, and Eugene Levy

      Self - Presenter: Thank you very much, there's nothing on the prompter. Thank you, there's nothing on the prompter.

      Self - Presenter: Is there like a tech guy?

      Self - Presenter: Maybe we should just open up the envelope?

      Self - Presenter: No, we're not just going to open up the envelope.

      Self - Presenter: No, no, it's gotta be coming up. It's gotta be coming up.

      [clearing his throat]

      Self - Presenter: Okay. They wouldn't be doing this to us on purpose, would they?

      Self - Presenter: Why would they want to embarrass us on national television on purpose? Wh-why?

      Self - Presenter: I don't know? Why would I know? I don't know?

      Self - Presenter: Why is your face being weird?

      Self - Presenter: Eugene! Did you do something?

      Self - Presenter: Nothing, I didn't do anything. I may have walked past the writer's room this morning and asked them to lift my dialogue a little bit.

      Self - Presenter: Oh god! You casually walked past a room full of comedy writers and asked them to "lift" your dialogue? "Lift" was the word that you used?

      Self - Presenter: I meant tighten it a bit?

      Self - Presenter: And what was their response?

      Self - Presenter: [Gesturing to the teleprompter] Okay.

      Self - Presenter: Okay, well, somewhere out there are the nominees for writing for a comedy series.

    Bad host and too much gushing
    Cedric the Entertainer is just not funny or interesting, plus being happy & excited is good but for some reason many winners over did the gushing and thank you's.

    The jokes seemed forced and over American, they really missed a Ricky Gervais style compère, it was to plain and sickly sweet at times.

    If I was there I would have hit the bar 20 mins in.
