@Kinaesthesia
If you go to http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/ and look for the video player in the upper right hand corner of the home page, the third video down is 5 minutes with Steve Carell, from this morning, promoting his new movie. Towards the end of the interview, he briefly discusses the Emmy Awards and gives his feelings on Stephen’s candidacy.
