Let’s hope Stephen doesn’t become the Susan Lucci of Primetime Emmys.

Jeannie (with an IE!) –

Thanks so much for coming out of “retirement” for this … I loved reading what everyone wrote about backstage and onstage … great stuff. I was so happy for them, they deserve and Emmy for best writiers – that show is pure gold!

S_Z:
The article was referring to picking which actuall Emmy statue they get to take home with them.

But Stephen has made some pretty incredible predictons in the past – like the first Emmy nom when he said it was Manilow’s night when interviewed on the Red Carpet.

And does anyone remember the time he predicted all the major Oscar wins using ‘The Colbert Code’?

Thanks, DB. It was a lot of fun – seems like ages since I’ve done a zeitgeist!

And sorry I missed all your twittering last night. But it was wonderful to see all your posts when I woke up.

Did he seriously have a dream that he would win the writer’s Emmy? (examiner.com article) Because if he did, that’s pretty darn awesome.

Yes. There must be some people who don’t like yummy Stephen and were plotting against him. Yay writers!!!

Exactly! How old does Stephen have to be to win an Emmy? :-/

Why don’t they split up this category? As Stephen mentioned/ranted two years ago, it’s not fair to put one-time performances in with recurring shows. They split up the other categories in this genre, why not split up the individual performance category?

I smell a plot… [/conspiracy theory]

reCAPTCHA: “kicked thus” Exactly!
