\u201cMost people will watch football and <\/strong>Yellowstone<\/em><\/strong>\u201d <\/strong>rather than the shows nominated at the Emmys, a nod to the gap between popular taste and critical acclaim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe show opened with a sketch with Bargatze as Philo T. Farnsworth, the “father of television,\u201d along with Saturday Night Live <\/em>cast members Bowen Yang, Mikey Day and James Austin Johnson. It was a take on his own SNL<\/em> sketch called \u201cWashington\u2019s Dream\u201d reimagined for the Emmys. The segment poked fun at the current state of modern TV, including how the History Channel had shows about aliens, there was \u201cno learning\u201d on the Learning Channel (just hoarders and Dr. PimplePopper<\/em>) and streaming was a \u201cnew way for companies to lose money\u201d with shows starring “real-life murderers mostly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t change it. This is a game I made up and these are the rules.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nAt the top of the show, Bargatze announced he would be donating $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America \u2014 but with a twist. He warned the night\u2019s winners that if their acceptance speeches ran over the 45-second limit, he\u2019d deduct money from the donation. The audience was visibly stunned by the stakes and Bargatze acknowledged the rules were \u201ctough\u201d and \u201cbrutal,\u201d but he added that money could also be earned back if another winner gave a particularly short speech. Making it even higher stakes, kids benefiting from the charity were in the audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a show called <\/strong>Adolescence<\/em><\/strong> that did that to adolescents.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nWhile some stars purposely kept their speech time down \u2014 like big winner Seth Rogen (The Studio<\/em>) and Outstanding Scripted Variety Series winner John Oliver \u2014 not everyone followed suit. After a particularly long speech by Adolescence<\/em> star Stephen Graham, knocking money from the total, Bargatze delivered the deadpan jab, earning laughs from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cSo, the in memoriam went a little long.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nBargatze quipped that even the tribute to television stars lost over the past year had gone over time \u2014 a joke, of course, as it hadn\u2019t \u2014 which landed in the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly probably wouldn\u2019t be here hosting if it wasn\u2019t for you. Thank you very much for that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nWhen SNL50: The Anniversary<\/em> Special<\/em> won Outstanding Live Variety Special, Bargatze took a moment to thank the show\u2019s executive producer, Lorne Michaels, for having him host the\u00a0<\/em>sketch show in both 2023 and 2024 \u2014 the opportunities that helped lead to his Emmys hosting gig, for better or worse.<\/p>\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t imagine ever doing this again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nAt the end of the show, as the donation pot had taken a hit from long-winded speeches, Bargatze reassured the audience that all was not lost. CBS would be donating $100,000 to the charity and he\u2019d give another $250,000, bringing the total to $350,000. And judging by his final words, he may have just hosted his first \u2014 and last \u2014 Emmys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
