In an effort to resuscitate the Emmys (voted on by a select group of Eisenhower's former confidantes), Jimmy Fallon has a new (hip) way of introducing the presenters: He plans to introduce the celebrities with suggestions from the common folk's Twitters. Cause Twitter is what the teens do. C'mon Emmys, are you this outdated that Twitter is your attempt at relevance? If you were going for "relevant," Jon Cryer wouldn't be nominated. Neither would Tony Shalhoub. But this idea wouldn't have been as sad if Jimmy didn't give a really lame, half-assed example of how he'll incorporate the tweets into the introductions:
"Blahblahblah says Jon Hamm is the hottest guy of all time. Here he is — Jon Hamm"
Now it feels less like a "young person!" gimmick, and more like Jimmy is completely out of ideas and actually needs suggestions on how to introduce the presenters. The hottest guy of all time? And Tina Fey is the funniest woman of all time! And Matthew Perry is the best Friend of all time! Jimmy, these practically write themselves. What do you need our help for?
