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.

9/10

The Only On-Camera Bits That Were Funny Were Bowen Yang and Schitt's Creek.

The teleprompter gag that was part of Dan, Catherine, Annie, and Eugene's on-camera bit was funny. How do you ask a room full of comedy writers to "lift" your dialogue and then realize that they wouldn't be reading from the teleprompter if it was blank?

Bowen Yang's 10 000 steps gag was also funny. The rest of the Emmys telecast was just bland.
