i think that means you missed the part where Jimmy Kimmel announced that the next presenter was Dr. Bill Cosby. omg! My daughter was going upstairs and stopped cold and I wheeled around full face to the TV. Both of our jaws dropped.
Then Kimmel said “He’s not really here. I just wanted to see what you guys would do.”
Wasn’t really funny, imo but he certainly got a reaction. His joke after that nice “in memoriam” tribute was just tacky, imo. “”That In Memoriam montage kicked a$$. It’s gonna be tough to beat next year. It really is.”
I didn’t watch very much of the show, not much of a Jimmy Kimmel fan, nor of many of the nominated shows. Tacky is right after the In Memoriam segment, not at all funny.
I was so hoping The Americans would win more awards, glad that at least Margo Martindale won for her role.
Thanks for posting this, VJ. I tuned in midway through the segment last night.
