[laughter]
Himself - Host & Nominated: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Tonight, we binge ourselves.
[laughter]
Himself - Host & Nominated: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Talk Series: Can you feel it? This room is crackling with a collective energy of people who, for the last forty-eight hours, have consumed nothing but distilled water and Crest White Strips.
[laughter]
Himself - Host & Nominated: Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series and Outstanding Variety Talk Series: All the nominees look so beautiful this evening. So happy. So hopeful.

I had such a great time!

This show is SOOOOOOO good and I had such a great time watching it! Laughing like seldom it is the occasion, opening my eyes wide for the beauty of it and feeling extremely proud to be a human. I just read a disaster comment from someone with 888 numbers on its profile's name and... with a shooting man as a profile's picture... Some people don't appreciate the political sides of those shows complaining it was not like that before. Well, Hollywood, art, painting, literature etc etc etc it is ALWAYS about political issues. If you don't understand that, you have a some BIIIIIIIIIIG problems. I want to thank the host, those WONDERFUL and COURAGEOUS ladies from Nine to Five who look GORGEOUS at their ages! And ALL the great people creating those TV series! Hollywood is a family, a world family, we love you... really!!! You absolutely make this world BETTER!!!! Thanks for making us humans! Thank you for including EVERYBODY! Thank you for those wonderful Shows! Ps: "There's something moving in the shadow..." Tolkien. Let's be alert...
