Was it just me or did Don steal the show?

Still, his presence was greatly welcomed during a very dry and UNFUNNY
Emmy's. The 5 host thing was a mess and completely lost on the
audience.

Anyway...Don presented with Kathy Griffin and he winged most of it and
made a crack about how iffy the show was coming along....the audience
definitely agreed.

Still....was proud of old Don...the guy can make anyone laugh. He is
the King.

Yes, I would have to say he was probably the highlight of an otherwise .... tepid show.

I kind of enjoyed Josh Groban's musical bit. I guess. They should have included some 'Greatest American Hero' in that montage.

And what was with cutting off the "John Adams" producer's speech when he started getting 'political?' I don't think it was merely a matter of him running long on his alloted time, because instead of trying to 'play him off,' didn't they just abruptly cut him off with a 'coming up next' graphic/voiceover?
