Emmys 2022 opening dance sequence, which paid tribute to Friends, Law and Order: SVU, and a slew of other TV shows. During Monday (12 September) night’s live show from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, host Kenan Thompson began the awards ceremony from the iconic Friends red couch, before eventually transitioning into a dance number to the ongoing criminal drama’s theme song. Responding to the moment on Twitter, many viewers criticised the choice, with one writing: “A hip hop dance number to the Law & Order theme is f***in’ weird.

first time hosting the Emmys proved that the “Saturday Night Live” veteran is ready for prime time — despite his one-and-done NBC sitcom, “Kenan.”Thompson, the longest-tenured “SNL” trouper (19 seasons and counting), provided a sure, guiding, self-deprecating hand and deftly kept the Emmy-cast train rolling — while staying as far under the radar as appropriate to allow the night’s winners to bask in their moments of glory.Thompson did, of course, participate in the usual — contractually obligated — awkward opening segment. This year, it riffed on “legally cleared TV songs” and Thompson showed some fierce dance moves joining the fleet-footed ensemble that strutted to theme songs from, among others, “Friends,” “Game of Thrones” and “The Brady Bunch” (with Thompson replacing Alice in that show’s iconic montage).Later in the telecast, he introduced the accountants from Ernst & Young — then promptly shooed them off the stage.

Succession won the top award of the night at the Emmys and the show’s creator Jesse Armstrong took the moment to throw shade at King Charles III.
