Steven Martin is presenting an award to Tommy Smothers he use to work with him. First question is why doesn’t Steve Martin age? So far he has been the best part of this show.

All the hosts agreed the one that won the Emmy would end the show so Jeff Probst basically got to say goodbye as the confetti falls.
Not one of the best award show I have seen, if you missed it you did not miss a lot at least you did not lose 3 hours of your life. So what was the worst part of the show? Hands down Howie Mandel, the best part of the show Don Rickles! What was the message to future award shows "Don’t have five hosts!" and if you have only one don’t have Howie Mandel!
