2005 Emmy's
Did anyone else watch the Emmy's last night. I thought it was hilarious. I love Ellen Degeneres anyway but the show itself was very entertaining.
I was personally routing for Jon Stewart and The Daily Show crew because I have been a fan since the beginning. I have a crush on Jon and felt extremely jealous when he kissed his wife before accepting his award. I believe this is their second Emmy? Correct me if I'm wrong.
I wonder what took the industry so long to recognize The Daily Show as ground breaking and well, good.
The show opened up with Earth Wind and Fire doing a special remake for the awards show and The Black Eyed Peas also came out to perform with the legendary band.
Will.I.Am had a verse that said, and I hope I remember this correctly, "Michael Jackson went on trial, waited all day to hear the verdict, not guilty. Martha Stewart was guilty, she went to jail and got a show, that's how entertainment goes"
It doesn't completely rhyme so I'm sure I got it wrong but that was the jist of what he said. What I took from that was a black man can be found innocent and be treated as an outcast for the rest of his life. A white woman can be found guilty AND go to the jail for it but come out with all kinds of movie and tv deals. (side note: did anyone notice the puzzled look on Jon Stewart's face after this verse?)
Speaking of jail, why did the only black actor interviewed for a Emmy awards skit have to say that he started out acting in prison? That was Roc by the way.
Did the D.C. snipers get any paper from that movie made about their shooting spree?
Did you notice how I called Charles S. Dutton, Roc? I have a habit that I think most people have, calling actors by their characters names. For example, and I know everyone does this - Steve Urkell. Who says, Jaleel White?
And what about Gina from Martin - OR even Pam? Or Jerry from Seinfeld..oh, wait...
I guess that's why actors started to name their characters after themselves. Hence the legacy of Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Harvey, Martin Lawrence, Ray Romano, etc. etc.
Maybe it's all ego.
Anyway, on to more important things: gay people!
wait, I'll talk about that later...give me a few days and I'll have an interesting post titled, "Taste the Rainbow".
