Hi there...just napping before the next season of TAR begins...I see

If we close our eyes and assume that the Emmys were legit (I know it's
tough, but try reeeally hard), then this catagory shouldn't exist at
all. Given that, the list is pretty much a popularity contest with
Klum thrown in to show that the selection committee viewed a few
seconds from shows on networks not named ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox....or
perhaps they asked their kids what they watched and got them to spell
"Klum" correctly.

Going back to "reality", a catagory devoted to recognizing a "host" is
inherently contradictory as the better the "host", the less visable
(or "distracting") they should be for a reality series...oh wait, they
included Howie who runs a game show...all bets are off then, why not
include Drew Carey for "Power of 10" then? After all, he gets more
screen time than the other nominees (save for Howie) combined and is
fairly entertaining even if the show drags.

Thank you Emmys for showing once again why you have no legitimacy at
all. Better to be a "fan fave" than a "Emmy winner"...at least ratings
count for something.
