Emmys are upon us, but this year they’re bleeding into the work week.If you feel like you remember the Emmys are usually on Sundays, you’re not wrong. Traditionally, TV’s biggest night occurs on Sunday night just like the Oscars.
So why are the Emmys on Monday this year? You can blame football.The last time the Emmys were on a Monday was 2018 (hosted by “SNL” stars Michael Che and Colin Jost), which is also the last time the ceremony was televised on NBC. Starting in 2014 with the Seth Meyers-hosted Emmys, when the awards show is televised on NBC, the ceremony is shifted to Monday so the network can still air NBC’s Sunday Night Football as planned.NBC took over the rights to Sunday Night Football from ESPN in 2006, but the 2006 and 2010 Emmys ceremonies aired on Sundays.The Emmy Awards are televised on a different broadcast network every year, rotating through NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox.This year’s show, the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, is hosted by Kenan Thompson and is back in the Microsoft Theater for the first time since 2019 after a pair of COVID-safe ceremonies – the 2020 show was shifted to the Staples Center at the last minute with winners giving speeches from their homes or other locations, while the scaled-down 2021 show was held at the Event Deck at L.A.

Kenan Thompson hosted this year's Emmy Awards, and managed to sneak in a little reunion with his old pal, Kel Mitchell.Midway through Monday's star-studded show at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, Thompson wandered over to the bar for one of the ceremony's comedic interludes, and struck up a conversation with the night's «honorary bartender,» Kumail Nanjiani.An overwhelmed Nanjiani — who had been tasked with serving drinks as a regular bartender and was totally unprepared — struggled to make drinks for people, before Thompson decided to order for a man slumped over on the bar, apparently passed out.«Excuse me, sir, can we get you a drink or something?» Thompson asked, as Mitchell sat up and smiled bright.«You know what, can I get a Good Burger?» he asked, as an exuberant Thompson hugged him and the pair jumped around excitedly.«Make that two Good Burgers!» Thompson yelled.
Emmy Awards ditched the traditional opening monologue in favor of an opening of a different sort: a performance dedicated to updated theme songs from television history that garnered plenty of strong reactions, from “WTF” to “random Snow White-esque opening dance.”Beginning with the iconic “Friends” couch, host Kenan Thompson paid tribute to TV’s favorite theme songs, from “The Brady Bunch” to “Game of Thrones,” complete with Thompson wearing a platinum wig and throwing a comedic zinger onto the end of each performance by a troupe of dancers.“This is like when your little cousin makes up a dance and performs it on the fireplace for an hour,” one user tweeted, while another wrote, “The Emmys are already a mess. I love it.”While this creative compilation was likely intended to spark appreciation for the history of the small screen, it seems it might’ve had the opposite effect for some.
