I had fun finding their tiny heads in that picture. I miss I Spy and Where’s Waldo.

The picture reminded me of Where’s Waldo, too! Where’s Stephen is even better :)

It took me about 30 seconds to find them …i guess I have a homing instinct ;D
As for the Emmy awards, they *are* a hysterical combination.
Now if only Colbert could get an emmy too, this year…

It took me about 10 seconds to find Stephen and a good 2 minutes to find Jon. Emmy people, please give Colbert an Emmy. The Nation needs an Emmy win.

What do you do? I work in a grocery store as a courtesy clerk. I’m going to get my schedule for next week tomorrow and I hope I can catch the whole show. I might have my Mom record this if I know I will miss any.

I’m the FOM at a Homewood Suites in Seattle. I make the schedule, so it shouldn’t be too hard for me to get the days that I want…but somehow business comes first. = P
Today is such a horribly busy day. = (

“Good evening godless Sodomites” is just as funny today as it was back then. I laugh just as hard every time.
I have a good feeling that this year is going to be *their* year. It’s time to give credit where credit is overdue.

Before the taping that I attended, Mark the audience coordinator said the staff thinks Don Rickles is going to win, but let’s hope otherwise!

Just looked at last year’s Emmy pics again. I love how Evie dresses. She always looks nice and classy, but not overdone in that Hollywood way.

I mean, how could they not present together!
of course I will be rooting heartily for both programs!
(btw it took me FOREVER to find Stephen in that picture. I felt like I had looked at everyone 4 times and then I sat back a little from the screen and there he was! I still haven’t found Jon!)
edit (spoiler-tagged): there he is! right in front! geez!

Added a spoiler tag to your edit, in case others want to find him on their own. :)

Yes, tiger did find Jon eventually (it’s in the “edit” portion of the comment). I spoiler tagged it because I thought other people might want to find him for themselves, which is also why I edited your comment just now.
Appreciate the sentiment, though. :)

Wow, I can’t believe this year’s Emmy’s are already coming up. This year flew by. I really hope Stephen wins this year!
Also, that was really fun finding their faces. lol.

OMG I’m so happy Stephen & Jon are presenting together. I hope this is the year the Academy finally wises up and gives Stephen the Emmy. He so deserves it and is way over do.

Bahaha, I found Stephen in no time, but I was sitting here for half an hour like “Where’s Jon?!” His little head popping out…. Awesome.

Too bad ABC’s fuzzy in my room.
Now, I have to go steal 3 hours worth of TV from my Grandma in the living room.

They don’t even have to get an award. Seeing them together(and with Steve Carell jumping up and down for joy!) is total WIN in my book.

I see Ricky Gervais is presenting, also. Maybe he’ll finally be able to get his last year’s Emmy from Steve Carell. :) It would be fun if the four of them got to celebrate this year!

fun thing to do: if you visit here and scroll down, the little ad features Stephen giving the Emmys a literal Colbert bump.

@nerzalert-I saw that ad, too, but I took it as a
positive sign for Stephen. After he “bumps” the first
card, it says “this is your night”. I hope it is his night!
