Late Night Snaps Emmy Losing Streak
Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the Susan Lucci of the Primetime Emmys, clinched its first golden lady for Outstanding Writing For a Variety, Music, or Comedy Program. Congrats--it's about time!
We read an article by an LA Times blogger who said that if Late Night were to lose all of its categories yesterday, then it would have tied the impossibly boring Newhart as the biggest bridesmaid in Emmy history.
What was different with this swing? Um...
Meanwhile, The Colbert Report has been foiled by ancient crooners two years in a row. Haha. First Manilow, now Tony Bennett. It'll be interesting to see how the writers handle such a bountiful gift basket of easy jokes.
