What am I going to wear to the Emmys? Something with a tie.
Two days later I got a call that they wanted to try out the character for seven episodes. Eleven years and 22 Emmys later, Cliff was still sitting at that bar.
H Stern was one of the first people to let me borrow their diamonds to wear to an awards show. At the Emmys last year, when I was such a has-been, no one would give me a dress.
To some extent, the Oscars and Emmys are the mother of all awards shows and are immune to that. But then, who would have guessed that Miss America would be leaving Atlantic City and playing on a cable channel that didn't exist several decades ago?
I don't know how that works out, ... I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.
I've been nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes, but I've never won one and I probably never will.
The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.
Tinseltown is eerily silent when The Oscars, The Emmys and The Grammys, The Sag Awards, and The Golden Globes aren't in full swing.
I've been nominated for 12 Emmys, and we won - for 'Top Chef' - the only time I didn't go.
The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.
