Peter Scolari was not initially invited to the Ball this year, and yet he still went home with the Gold Prince named Emmy yesterday at the Creative Emmys.
Another Peter, Peter MacNichol, was originally nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, but he was disqualified when it was determined that he had been in a little more than 50% of Veep’s episodes. Therefore, they replaced him with the Bosom Buddies star for his work as Dunham’s dad on Girls. You would think that Scolari’s chances of winning would be slim, but he won his first Emmy after nearly 40 years of making us laugh on shows like Buddies, Newhart (which he received 3 nominations) and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
Congrats on finally winning, it has been a long time coming and much deserved.
Can I tell you a little secret, I have had a crush on him ever since I first saw him on Bosom Buddies? Thus, I am so excited for him!

The Emmy nominations were announced today and once again they suck. If your show is on HBO, Showtime, FX or Netflix, then you have a good chance of getting nominated. If not, then you didn’t get nominated.
The biggest snubs were The Carmichael Show, Conan, American Horror Story: Hotel’s Lady Gaga, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s Rachel Bloom, Undateable: Live and Sharknado 3. Also missing was The Big Bang Theory and Orange is the New Black from the major categories.
I didn’t post the announcement because Anthony Anderson was really annoying. I used to like him, but since Black-ish became a little bit of a hit, he has become so full of himself. And now that it got it three noms, he will have an ego as huge as one of our Presidential candidates.
What I did like was that American Crime Story Courtney B Vance and Sterling K Brown, and UnReal’s Constance Zimmer got noms, but other than them shows that people don’t watch were nominated.
Making Jimmy Kimmel’s job much harder when he hosts the Emmys on September 18th.

Tonight during the Emmys, while Jimmy Kimmel was presenting Best Actor in a Comedy, he ate the winner’s name so we don’t know who really won the award. He claims it was Jefrey Tambor for Transparent, but there was nominee who wasn’t happy with the results. That nom is Joey Tribbiani, I mean Matt Le Blanc, who was nominated for playing himself on Episodes. So much so, he gave Kimmel a finger, the middle one.
I don’t know why the Friends star thought he won because barely anyone else thought he had a shot, did you?
It was over 100 degrees in Los Angeles today and the show must go on. That means because the Emmys was still happening, celebrities still had to walk the red carpet of the black tie event in their gowns and tuxes. Which means they were sweating like a Presidential candidate at the Republican Debate. We didn’t get to see the celebs sweat because they were all using Dry Idea. There was one person who didn’t use that antiperspirant and his name is Mario Lopez. His revealed that all of that heat entered him into a wet T-shirt contest and he won! Wow, just thought of that shower scene in Nip/Tuck. Now I am wet!
Adam Levine was on The Tonight Show yesterday and Jimmy Fallon and him talked about Gwen Stefani doing a John Travolta to Stephen Colbert’s name. The Maroon 5 singer explained that his Voice co-Coach was having problems saying his name before they presented and he tried to help her out. But when the time came, nerves took over.
Then the NBC late night host explained that his going up there to accept the award was unplanned. Colbore, I mean Coldbear, I mean Colbert, and him had not planned what happened next and it all came naturally.
No doubt that one little f*ck up by the No Doubt singer turned into comedy gold.
