JIMMY KIMMEL’S EMMYS OPENING MONOLOGUE

It was certainly different this year but some moments it almost seemed like a normal year at last night’s Emmys. Jimmy opened up the show with the question we’ve all had: Why are we having a live awards show during a pandemic?
A few hours before the show, it was announced that Giuliana Rancic and Vivica A. Fox had to pull out of the virtual “red carpet” hosting because both tested positive for COVID so certainly a valid question but the show went on!
Don’t worry, there were jokes in there, too.

We know what you’re thinking and no, there wasn’t a ton of people jammed into the place without masks. If you don’t watch the whole video, it was part of a bit (Kimmel himself makes an appearance in the audience around the 5:00 mark) and Jimmy took the opportunity to give himself a standing ovation!
