Show with Jon Stewart” proved unstoppable, winning its 10th
consecutive best variety show trophy. Stewart, discussing the
lasting value of his show, apparently forgot that what flies on
free-wheeling cable gets censored on network television.
“Years from now when the Earth is just a burning husk and
aliens visit, they will find a box of these, and they will know,
just how predictable these (several bleeps) can be,” he said.
Standup comic Louis CK won the Emmy for best comedy writing
for “Louie” and for the special “Louis CK Live at the Beacon
Theatre.” Said the comedian after his second win: “Thank you
to audiences around the country who still go to see live comedy.”
Kimmel, who played it clean, set up one of the night’s best
filmed comedy bits by musing on what “Breaking Bad” would
have been like had it aired in a G-rated, pre-cable era.
The answer: a spoof of the opening to “The Andy Griffith
Show,” with “Breaking Bad” stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron
Paul, fully suited up to cook crystal meth, out at the lake with
their fishing poles as the “Andy Griffith” whistling theme song
was heard. As a pungent punchline, they shot dead an unexpected
witness: a friendly deputy billed as co-star Don Knotts.
The show started with bathroom humor: A filmed bit with
Kathy Bates, Zooey Deschanel and other nominated actresses
prepping in the restroom, then discovering a weeping Jimmy
Kimmel lamenting a Botox reaction he said would keep him
off stage as host. “You look beautiful,” he was reassured. “You
look like a ‘Real Housewife.’” Viewers of the skit may have been
puzzled by a nude Lena Dunham, the creator-star of “Girls,”
who’s routinely brave about showing skin on the HBO comedy.
Not all his material worked. One bit that fell flat had
Kimmel’s parents, or so the host said, escorted out of the theater
because they promised he would win an Emmy and he
didn’t.
“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane found presenting
can be tricky. “Oh, the mic’s over there,” he said, after discovering
he was on the wrong side of the stage. “This is what happens
when you don’t come to rehearsal,” MacFarlane said.

Fashionistas noticed yellow was hot, the color of choice for
Moore, Danes, Bowen and Hannah Simone from “New Girl.”
“Best hair and makeup goes to Danes. Perfect!” tweeted Emma
Roberts. Emmy has to prove herself a winner with the audience.
After rebounding somewhat to 13.5 million viewers in
2010 after an all-time low in 2008 of 12.3 million, last year’s
show drew 12.4 million viewers airing on Fox. The ceremony
rotates annually among the four major networks. — AP
