See, he won before.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:53:39 AM
Kimmel should win this.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:55:01 AM
yes, Louis was robbed.. I think I would have to stop drinking if he won 2 in a row!

by Jenn 9/24/2012 1:55:06 AM
And I truly love Jon Stewart, Colbert and Fallon's show...

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:55:43 AM
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart wins the Emmy for best variety, music or comedy special.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 1:56:13 AM
Really? For a straight DECADE The Daily Show has won. That's unbelievable #emmys

by Sophie Schillaci via twitter 9/24/2012 1:57:03 AM
Alright, tackling Stewart was funny. That was great.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:57:09 AM
Daily Show wins AGAIN. Sadly, Jimmy Kimmel won't be "crying like a baby + soiling" himself... This year.

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 1:57:36 AM
Look, The Daily Show is Required Viewing and always funny, but pending elections make it brilliant television.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 1:59:24 AM
Jon Stewart delivers comedy gold. Again.

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 1:59:39 AM
yeah...but Stewart really is good

by ppage 9/24/2012 1:59:48 AM
Stewart delivered best line of the night about predictability of the award shows!! thats why he is awesome and deserves to win!..

by Jenn 9/24/2012 2:00:09 AM
One thing to remember about Ricky Gervais - when he walks on stage, you pay attention. Because anything can happen. That's so rare.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:00:31 AM
The next category: Outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 2:01:07 AM
the bit with Fallon & Colbert was funny.. not sure what we (I) will do when Stewart & Colbert leave their shows...

by Jenn 9/24/2012 2:01:32 AM
Bleeped from Stewart: "...you'd see how f---ing predictable these things can be."

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 2:01:54 AM
"My dad looks like Wolf Blitzer." - Jimmy Kimmel.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:03:16 AM
Kimmel is really booting his parents out of the theater. They laughed all the way, like they didn't know it was coming. Probably didn't.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:03:57 AM
Kimmel's parents r getting their Emmy moment.Amazing - & not at all surprising from the ultimate family man (They're frequent guests at JKL)

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 2:04:29 AM
ABC's #Missing included in miniseries/movie intro? #WHUCK

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:04:45 AM
I demand that American Horror Story get absolutely nothing, since being in this category is a shame. And the show was lousy.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:05:11 AM
@BastardMachine true dat

by ppage 9/24/2012 2:05:18 AM
enough of Tracey Morgan already!

by ppage 9/24/2012 2:05:26 AM
@Jenn Are Stewart and/or Colbert planning on leaving their respective shows anytime soon?

by ppage 9/24/2012 2:05:29 AM
#BreakingBad's Aaron Paul on what he said to nominee/co-star Giancarlo Esposito: " I cried in his arms."

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:05:39 AM
Same goes for Missing. Both equally bad. Only one really knows that, however.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:05:54 AM
Yes, I know that Ashley Judd was nominated. Just still fail to comprehend. #Emmys

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:06:01 AM
If Jessica Lange doesn't win this, something is very wrong. #AHS #Emmys

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:06:12 AM
Jessica Lange wins for #AHS. #Emmys

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:06:20 AM
Jessica Lange (American Horror Story) wins the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a miniseries or movie.

by chris.krewson 9/24/2012 2:06:44 AM
Jessica Lange wins for American Horror Story. That was a surprise ... to nobody.

by Lacey Rose via twitter 9/24/2012 2:06:59 AM
Hey, people at the Emmys, you're tweeting before we see the winners on TV. There's a delay.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:07:11 AM
OK, well, Jessica Lange is fantastic. So I'm not upset.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:08:01 AM
Jessica Lange just thanked me in her #Emmys acceptance speech! Me: "You're welcome!" #Emmys #kidding

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:08:28 AM
Wow, Jessica Lange is just as creepy giving acceptance speeches as she was on AHS.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:09:10 AM
Somebody needs to put her last five seconds of that speech on Tumblr.

by Tim Goodman via twitter 9/24/2012 2:09:47 AM
@ppage, no I dont know that either of them are leaving soon.. I think they signed for 2 more years but there will be a point when they will want to do something else. I have heard Stewart say that the show is alot of work to keep at the quality he wants and that he gets tired.. given his how much vacation he gets, I hope he doesnt leave anytime soon

by Jenn 9/24/2012 2:10:08 AM
Louis C.K. backstage deadpans: "What's up, I won two Emmys." #Emmys

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:10:21 AM
Louis C.K. tips hat to Chris Rock, calling him still one of the best comedians out there. He started on the Chris Rock show.

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:11:06 AM
My tweets are losing steam! And I think there's an old-timey auctioneer managing the press room. #Emmys

by mikeylikestv via twitter 9/24/2012 2:11:12 AM
@Jenn thanks for the response

by ppage 9/24/2012 2:11:33 AM
Tim, didnt you say AHS is a terrible show? never watched it because you hated first season

by Jenn 9/24/2012 2:11:37 AM
"I don't think I've ever had a disagreement with them in three years." Louis C.K. on FX folks. #Emmys

by Lesley Goldberg via twitter 9/24/2012 2:11:53 AM
"I'm better than I was before. Hopefully I'll be better later, too." -- Louis C.K. says backstage. #Emmys
