Rock my chain? Maggie Smith Rule? Memorable Emmy moments

“I’m in between jobs right now”, says Mr Bush, sporting a cap. Kimmel and numerous night’s winners set their sights on GOP candidate Donald Trump, while a few gave shout outs to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Host Jimmy Kimmel speaks to mother Joann Iacono as she makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the audience.

“No, he would be home right now quietly rubbing up against his wife Malaria [sic] while she pretended to be asleep”. If Donald Trump gets elected, and he builds that wall, the first person we’re throwing over it is Mark Burnett. “Did you win?” Matt said, casually eating an apple. Mark Burnett, the man who brought us Celebrity Apprentice.

The pair’s rivalry has been a steady source of entertainment since the early days of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, during which he closed the show by jokingly saying, “Apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time”.

“You know it’s amusing you say that…”, Kimmel began. It worked, you sneaky little crumpet muncher.

“Did you know you can make $12/hour driving for Uber?” “Our show started out as a political satire but it now feels like a sobering documentary”, she said while accepting her award.

Louis-Dreyfus, who won of the Emmy Award for best comedy actress for her role as United States president Selina Meyer in “Veep”, apologised for what she called “the current political climate”.

Finally he took his leave with the parting words, “I’ll see you later at the after party”. How many times do you think she showed up here to get the Emmy?

Veep’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus managed to get laughs and tears during her acceptance speech. During his opening monologue, Kimmel threatened to revoke all of her Emmys if she did not appear at the September 18 show should she win.

Ironically enough, Maggie Smith went on to win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, upsetting all three “Game of Thrones” actresses, who had been tapped as favorites to win.
