Jimmy Fallon's career baffles me. The man is just not funny, despite his obvious best efforts, yet he not only has a show (does anyone actually watch his show?) but he also somehow managed to score himself the gig of being the host of the 2010 Emmy Awards last night.
Let me make myself clear here--I usually love awards shows; I watch them all every year and (usually) thoroughly enjoy myself. Sure, I could have done without seeing Hugh Jackman attempt to sing and dance last year during the Academy Awards, but other than that he did a fine job hosting and the overall show was perfectly fine; no major complaints from my end. Last night was a train wreck for me, however. The 2010 Emmy Awards were boring and I haven't yawned so much while attempting to make it through anything I've sat down to watch in, well, I can't even remember how long. I do not believe I have hated the choice of host for an awards show more than I hate that Jimmy Fallon hosted the Emmy Awards last night. So all in all, last night's Emmys weren't that big of a deal for me, although I did enjoy Jane Lynch receiving an award for Glee. That was the up point of the night for me.
Renee was happy with a great deal of the winners and we have come to the consensus that I need to watch even more television than I do already. Check out what Renee and I had to say about the 2010 Emmys as we were watching it last night.
Holly: Wow, Jimmy Fallon is so not funny!
After watching this Year in Comedy mashup, I realized that I do not watch much comedy.
Renee: Of course not but we are stuck with him for three hours
Damn I wish I could push Betty and have a moment with Jon Hamm
Holly: Wow, the guy who won for Modern Family wanted to be a clown in the circus. He should realize that really, he kind of is...
Renee: We should drink every time Jimmy Fallon says Twitter
Holly: Hahaha! All I Have are beers, but considering the amount of times he says Twitter I should be drunk within the hour!
And Modern Family won for writing as well.
I never saw Modern Family. I did see an interview with the chick who just presented on The View and heard her rape joke, but that was about it.
Renee: I cannot stand Stephen Colbert
I so do not want Sofia to win
Holly: Jane Lynch won for Glee! That makes me happy.
Renee: I never watch the show, it tries my patience
Holly: I love it, it makes my inner preteen extremely happy and Jane Lynch is just hilarious.
Lauren Graham is presenting! I looove Lorelai! And she is also very good on Parenthood, but she will always be Lorelai Gilmore.
Renee: Okay we should drink every time a joke falls flat
Big surprise that Neil Patrick Harris and Betty White won
Holly: Honestly, I'm kind of sick of Betty White.
Renee: Get in line. Betty White the It Girl is getting old fast.
Holly: Yeah, and I get the appeal of her and everything but... no. I'm just kind of done with her now.
Renee: That Modern Family scene sucked ass
Holly: I'm not too sad I haven't seen Modern Family now.
Renee: I love Jim Parsons he is hilarious
Holly: Yeah, and he acts the same as he does on The Big Bang Theory while standing up on that stage.
Renee: Whatever. Neil Patrick Harris rocks
I so want Eddie Falco to win
Holly: Yeah, he should be hosting again. I hate Jimmy Fallon.
Renee: Yeah!!! I love Nurse Jackie.
Holly: She just sat there looking like "What? Are you serious?"
Renee: Yeah, she is so humble and awesome
Holly: Reality television!
Renee: Wow I didn't know some guy challenged Ramsay to a fight on Hell's Kitchen
Holly: Yeah, he was fucking hilarious.
Renee: Watching that proved I watch too much reality television
Holly: I just thought the same thing! I'm sitting here all "I saw... most of that!"
Renee: Yeah I am glad that Top Chef won
Holly: I recently watched all of the seasons of Top Chef straight through. I'm on season... 6, I think? Pretty sure.
And I can never pronounce Padma's last name, so I have come to call her Lunchmeat.
Renee: Lunchmeat? I won't even ask
Holly: Every time she has ever said her last name it sounds like she is saying Lunchmeat.
Renee: no you are just weird
Holly: No, I'm really not. It sounds like she's saying "And I'm Padma Lunchmeat!"
Renee: WEIRD
Holly: Watch, the next time you watch Top Chef you'll think of lunchmeat.
Renee: only because of you...and OMG Fallon is getting on my nerves
Holly: Wow, reality television was very short. Now we're into drama.
Lost should win...everything.
And Mad Men won for best writing.
And the first blatant cut-off.
Renee: Yeah well he was rambling
Cool that Aaron won for Breaking Bad he did a great job this year
Holly: How the fuck does Aaron Paul win over Benjamin fucking Linus!?
Renee: Yeah he did amazing last year. I agree with this one
Do you not watch Breaking Bad?
Holly: Nope, never even heard of it.
I just really like the guy who played Benjamin Linus on Lost. Like, a lot.
Renee: OMG you have to watch it. It is amazing show...I like them both but this year it was no contest Aaron kicked is ass
Holly: Okay, I shall download tonight!
Oooh, we should remove that line about downloading for the publication of this chat! DAMN YOU, BEER.
Renee: It's Fallon's fault he keeps causing you to drink
Holly: Archie is an awesome name, for one. Secondly, I love her dress.
Renee: Yeah I was just thinking that. She is so beautiful
Holly: She is!
Renee: Bria Cranston all the way for Breaking Bad
Holly: Okay, Breaking Bad must be good if it just beat Lost, Dexter and House.
Renee: Yeah he damn well deserved that award. He is so freaking awesome
Holly: He's the dad from Malcolm in the Middle.
So the question is, will be able to take him seriously on Breaking Bad?
Renee: He looks so young on the stage compared to the show
WOOT Breaking Bad Double...I'm so glad for them. I love that show
Holly: So, you're missing True Blood tonight!
I just saw a ton of tweets come up about people watching True Blood.
Renee: Nope time morphing, watching it at midnight and Mad Men at 11
Holly: Oh, okay.
Renee: Ann Margaret need to so something with her hair
I cannot watch Dexter it creeps me out
Holly: I haven't watched it just because I know I am going to fucking. love. it.
So I need to have multiple seasons to watch straight through because I get addicted to shows real bad. And I looooved Michael C Hall on Six Feet Under. He was amazing.
Renee: What's with the George Clooney countdown clock?
Holly: I have no clue.
Renee: Fallon looks ridiculous and he is ruining "Candle in the Wind"
Holly: Agreed.
Renee: Fuck someone shoot him and put him out of his misery
Holly: I cannot stand this man. Neil Patrick Harris hosting was so much better.
Renee: And now he is bastardizing Green Day for fucks sake if it wouldn't destroy my tv I would throw something at the screen
Holly: Now, I do not condone the murder of people I cannot stand, so I will say this. I wish someone would kidnap Jimmy Fallon and keep him in a basement for the next 15 years.
Holly: Okay, I'm officially getting a little mad here. Every single time we introduce actresses the man presenter is all "THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL. AND BEAUTIFUL. AND LET'S NOT FORGET THEY ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL."
Renee: Why should I care that she is descended from a dude that signed the declaration of Independence
Holly: Because... it makes it interesting? Edie Falco's was the funniest one yet. She is descended from Swedish and Italian nationality--which means someone in her family is always making meatballs.
Jeff Probst! He's going to tally the votes!
Renee: This is going to sound awful but I would so sleep with Probst
Holly: Haha! I would sleep with him if afterward he was all 'Holly, the tribe has spoken.'
Okay, I am so confused! Why are they awarding an awards show... at an awards show?
Renee: Yeah kinky but cool
Poor other guy got to say two words and then they hit the music
Holly: Well when we win an award for writing awesome stuff I promise to let you say more than two words!
And Ricky Gervais is bringing out the beers!
I need to watch The Daily Show more.
There's a new show coming on HBO called Boardwalk Empire. And I need to watch it. It's about prohibition in the 20's and it has Steve Buschemi and Michael Pitt! Oh my goodness.
Renee: Yeah I have seen the promotions for it
Holly: I NEED to see that show!
George Clooney won the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.
Renee: Yeah well he does not impress me
Notice how Susan Sarandon did not stand up
Holly: I did notice that.
Renee: I love her...she really works hard
Hanks is looking at Fallon like he thinks the man is clueless
Holly: Tom Hanks is awesome.
Big Love isn't being mentioned as much this year as they were last.
Renee: January Jones looks like a hot mess
Holly: I'm not liking the front of her dress in the least.
It takes a village to make a child. Oh boy.
Renee: I guess that is what happens when she dresses herself
A chick flick with balls balls...love that line
Holly: I am not a big fan of Claire Danes. I don't know why, I just really could do without her.
Renee: Temple sure stood up to get her applause
Holly: Jewel's earrings are taking over her entire head.
Renee: I didn't know Edward Woodward had died
Blair Underwood gets hotter every year
Cast of True Blood 7 minutes yeah
These are truly the awards no one gives a damn about
Holly: I have not seen these miniseries/movies. This section would be more entertaining if I had. Ha! Glad we're on the same page here.
Renee: and Temple stands up again
She is certainly getting her 15 secs
Renee: Anna Paquin looks great
Holly: She is giving the camera sex eyes!
Renee: And Skaargard looked hot as hell
That man is sex on a stick
Holly: And tall! What is he, like 7 feet tall!?
Renee: I think 6'5 he is much taller than his dad
Holly: Jeez. He is crazy tall!
And much hotter than that other one. That short dude.
Renee: I know and all man...
Holly: Stephen Moyer! Him!
Renee: Well Moyer isn't short he just looks less than standing next to that Nordic God
Holly: But he is like a half inch shorter than Anna Paquin in heels.
Renee: I can't even say what I would like to do that man
Holly: I have a rule when it comes to height. I need to be with a man who is still taller in me even when I'm wearing 5 inch heels.
Al Pachino talks too much. Seriously.
Renee: But notice how they didn't cut him off
Holly: Well, because he's Al Pachino.
Renee: Yeah but that really isn't fair at all
Holly: No, it isn't.
Renee: This has got to be one of the most boring award shows ever
Holly: AGREED!
Renee: I love Tom Hanks
Holly: Me too, he has never disappointed me.
Renee: Even in the Money Pit and Joe vs the Volcano...who knew based in that what he would become
That woman is going to fall out of her dress
And Temple is just taking over the show
Holly: Yay, last two awards of the night!
Not all awards shows are this... yawn-inducing.
Renee: It is because of Fallon
Breaking Bad had better win
Holly: Nope, Mad Men won.
Renee: Wow Christina Hedricks is one big boob
Holly: She looks amazing, though.
Renee: And Moss looks amazing
I am not as gaga over Hendricks the way that most of the fem sites are. She is just a woman, like every other
Holly: I'm not familiar enough with her to be gaga over her, but she looks great tonight. I like her dress a lot.
And Modern Family won best comedy.
Renee: And thank goodness it is over. Here is hoping he never ever does another show
Holly: I hope not, I can't take him.
And that's it for the 2010 Emmys! Have any thoughts on last night's awards show? Leave it in the comments!
