Still all my Dutch friends are starting to consider different solutions as positively barbaric.

If she'd said "Suck it, Jews," a laser dot would've appeared on her forehead.

No one watches the emmys, so really, they can say anything they want.

I love the Emmy's part.

I'm OT so sue me:

Mr. Laurie, a household name in Britain since 1980, was not as well known here, except to fans of his British series Blackadder. The confusion over his nationality was played up during last year's Emmy Award telecast. When Mr. Laurie began speaking in his real voice, co-presenter Zach Braff said, "I didn't realize we were doing British accents."

"Well, we're not. I'm British; it's the way I talk," Mr. Laurie protested.

....


Mr. Laurie doesn't use a dialect coach, and he has described his struggle to sustain Dr. Gregory House's American accent as "the hardest single thing in my day."

LOS ANGELES - For Hugh Laurie, speaking American is an issue."ISH-oo or ISS-you?" he recently asked on the set of Fox's hospital mystery series, "House," his costar Robert Sean Leonard said. In the diagnostic suspense series, which has its second-season premiere tonight, Mr. Leonard plays a Watson-like comrade to Mr. Laurie's Sherlock Holmes-esque sleuth physician,and the rehearsals often are interrupted when the British actor utters a wrong diphthong or some such mispronunciation.

"Expletives come pouring out of his mouth, and he's hittinghimself with the cane," Mr. Leonard said. "It drives him nuts."

That kind of exactitude is what Mr. Laurie demands of himself and his character demands of his underlings. Struggling with aforeign accent is not as bad as hobbling around with a perpetual limp, as the Vicodin-popping Dr. Gregory House must. But it's a mild form of handicap that connects Mr. Laurie to Dr. House's
sense of agitation.

"It is the single hardest part of my job; oh, by far!" he said in an interview in Los Angeles. Off the set, he's relaxed, so his Britishisms are in full flower, as when "herbs" get the hard h. But his stubbly face creases just discussing that dialect problem.

"I can't think of any other human activity that doesn't get easier with repetition," he continued, calming himself with a Marlboro Light. "Making omelets, playing violin, sex, anything -
the more you do it, the better you get at it, supposedly - but for this, it doesn't apply. I find that every day is as painful as the last day, which is painful as the first day I did it."

Here's one I shot - my niece Shelby singing the same song. Here's a link to her high E:

Not perfect, but then she was a sophomore and only had a year and a half of training. And Emmy Rossum couldn't even hit it.

I've attended the Adult Expo, and most of these actresses don't bear close examination in real life, especially Jenna. All this means is that they'll have to do the same quality of makeup as Hollywood films have used for years. There are successful actresses who have bad skin - Cameron Diaz's face is covered with acne scars. When the Tonight Show went HD, the make-up person had to invent a new type of make-up, and won an Emmy for it - liquid make-up applied with an airbrush.

You don't even need to watch the whole thing (though it is all pretty great).

If you love comedy, just watch the first five minutes for the 2002 Emmys bit.

From his emmy-winning days of fightimg for the fair treatment of the Mentally retarded at Willowbrook State, to Al Capone's Vault, to his foot-in-mouth coverage of whateverthehell he fucked up in Afghanistan, This piece-a-work is an insult to every Puerto-Rican Jew and legitamate journalist on the planet.

(legitmate jounalist being the oxi-moronic descrptive phrase that it is)

Oh, did we mention the Gay Biker Moustache? , that never goes out of style?

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood won four Emmy awards, including one for lifetime achievement.

During the 1997 Daytime Emmys, the Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Rogers. The following is an excerpt from Esquire Magazine's coverage of the gala, written by Tom Junod:

...Mister Rogers went onstage to accept the award -- and there, in front of all the soap opera stars and talk show sinceratrons, in front of all the jutting man-tanned jaws and jutting saltwater bosoms, he made his small bow and said into the microphone, "All of us have special ones who have loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, one minute to think of the people who have helped you become who you are. One minute of silence."

And then he lifted his wrist, looked at the audience, looked at his watch, and said, 'I'll watch the time.' There was, at first, a small whoop from the crowd, a giddy, strangled hiccup of laughter, as people realized that he wasn't kidding, that Mister Rogers was not some convenient eunuch, but rather a man, an authority figure who actually expected them to do what he asked. And so they did. One second, two seconds, three seconds -- and now the jaws clenched, and the bosoms heaved, and the mascara ran, and the tears fell upon the beglittered gathering like rain leaking down a crystal chandelier. And Mister Rogers finally looked up from his watch and said softly, "May God be with you," to all his vanquished children.

Rogers is quoted as saying, "I got into television because I hated it so. And I thought there was some way of using this fabulous instrument to be of nurture to those who would watch and listen."

Silvercord, thanks for giving me the embed for this.

holy shit, this clip has everything! ...maybe throw some hot ladies into the next segment, and they've got a local emmy in the bag!

favorite part is when he refers to the guy as 'the unemployed porn site user'.

(note to self; provide future children with internet access to avoid having them spank it in the library)

okay, a gracious bow-out... i havn't forgotten how he votes, and what bills he's written and sponsored.

i hate santorum ... he's like a walking caricature of an asshole/politician... playing all his cards in front of the national media... woohoo, give him a fucking daytime emmy...

No, because they've been off the past two weeks. Since this video is talking about their appearance on the Emmys, they've not been back to work yet. They come back on 9/11/2006 so maybe they'll say something then.

Shamelessly stolen from wikipedia:
