First off, I love Jerrod Carmichael ever since I saw the pilot for The Carmichael Show. Personally, I think he and his sitcom were robbed of the recognition and the awards they deserved for the show.
Now, having said I wish he would’ve lost at the Emmys yesterday instead of winning Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for Jerrod Carmichael: Rothaniel. What? How can you say that?
Before the show started, the comedian told Vanity Fair what would happen if he lost. “I want to make clear. I want to win. And I am not just happy to be nominated. That is a lie. That is like bullshit. I am only here to win,” he said. “And if I lose, I will leave immediately. Like there will be an empty seat at a table. I am a sore loser. I will not be a fair sport. And I will get the fuck out of here. I’ll be out here eating In’n’Out. If I lose, I will see you in the drive-thru.”
Could you imagine if he lost? Carmichael would’ve used P Diddy’s fur coat as a cape and flown out of there faster than you could’ve said Rothaniel. But he won an award, and we were robbed of the opportunity. Maybe next time…

It is common knowledge to us commoners that you don’t wear white after Labor Day. However, the Emmys red carpet was covered with celebs like Andrew Garfield, Jean Smart, Seth Rogen, Oprah Winfrey, Toheeb Jimoh, Nicholas Braun, and Kerry Washington draped in the banned color from neck to ankle. The travesty! They should be ashamed of themselves.
This is what happens when P Diddy becomes irrelevant. Celebs don’t know that his white party is the official going away event for wearing white until Memorial Day. We must do better.
BTW Does anyone know why we don’t wear white after the first Monday of September?
The Emmys are just over a month away, and today the Television Academy of Arts & Sciences and NBC announced that Kenan Thompson will be hosting Television’s biggest night on September 12th.
“Being a part of this incredible evening where we honor the best of the television community is ridiculously exciting, and to do it on NBC – my longtime network family – makes it even more special,” Thompson said. “Like all TV fans, I can’t wait to see the stars from my favorite shows.”
I think it is a great consolation prize for cancelling his hilarious sitcom, Kenan. That and it is truly deserved. Because who doesn’t like Kenan? And there is a reason why everyone loves him. He is a really nice guy, from what I hear! We need to support the good ones, and this is a great start.
BTW Did you know he is going into his 20th season as a member of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players on Saturday Night? What a September for Kenan, who is getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday!
He might not be an overnight success, but he is a success.
There have been rumors that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences asked The Rock and Chris Rock to host this year’s Emmys. How Rockin’ would that be?
So far, there has been radio silence from both actors. But then, Chris Rock’s people told Entertainment Tonight, “He’s in the middle of his tour and is preparing for the taping of his comedy special, which will be taping this fall.”
Now that ET knows the comedian’s answer, what about DJ? “It was just schedule. I was really, truly honored when they came to me and asked, but it was just a scheduling thing,” he told ET. “That’s all. That’s really what it comes down to.”
The Emmys air on September 12th on NBC. So I betcha they are going to ask someone from Saturday Night Live to do it. I just hope and pray it is not Pete Davidson. It is going to be Pete Davidson. And now I am mad at the Rocks for making us suffer through that.
Emma Corrin was nominated for an Emmy for playing the most glamourous woman of the 20th Century. However, she did not look like Princess Diana during TV’s biggest night.
So what was she going for dressed in the “custom Miu Miu yellow satin sable column shape dress with a bonnet and gloves and a pair of yellow satin pumps?” The actress wrote, “Crucible realness.”
I can see it now that she claims to be one of the Salem Witches. But I thought she looked more like a small-eared animal like a meerkat instead.
What did you think she looked like besides a disaster?
