Emmys host Nate Bargatze<\/a> issue a challenge to award winners<\/a> on TV\u2019s big night:<\/p>\n

Stick to 45-second speeches, or you\u2019ll pay.<\/p>\n

That payment would come in the form of thousands of dollars of money subtracted from a charitable donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you wanna do more than that, do it on social media later,\u201d Bargatze advised Emmys nominees. \u201cMore people are gonna see it there anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bargatze explained to the assembled celebrities and TV talents at the 77th Emmy Awards<\/a> that he was planning to make a $100,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Club. (See the setup in Bargatze\u2019s opening monologue below.)<\/p>\n

But for every second that Emmy winners went over the 45-second mark in their speeches, $1,000 would be deducted from that $100,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s tough,\u201d Bargatze said. \u201cIt\u2019s hard … It\u2019s brutal. What are you gonna do, though? I can\u2019t change it. This is a game I made up and these are the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the show\u2019s running gag, billed as a way to keep the speeches succinct and show at large from running over time.<\/p>\n

And if someone was mindful enough to go under on time, that time would be restored to the total in the form of $1,000 dollars per second.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t go crazy, though,\u201d Bargatze said. \u201c\u2019Cause, like, I am paying for this … Some of you go over a little, some go under. Do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can probably guess how it all went.<\/p>\n
