Emmy Voters Under Siege; Talk Show Freakout; Place Your Bets On ‘Bookie’ – Notes On The Season

The latest Notes On The Season highlights the many FYC events going on around town as voting begins in less than a week ; the tense talk show race;

This week alone there have been FYC opps offered for Understanding Autism ; The Formula 1 Opening Ceremony For The Las Vegas Grand Prix; Carol & The End Of The World; The Express Way with Dule Hill; Billy Joel’s 100th Live At Madison Square Garden(I assume not his birthday); an invite to a taping of CBS’ After Midnight With Taylor Tomlinson; a virtual event from You Tube for Good Mythical Morning With Rhett & Link and First We Feast’s Hot Ones; more virtual events for The Tatooist Of Auschwitz and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon; separate reminders to watch every single show on Apple TV+, ESPN, ABC, Peacock, Great Performances, STARZ, National Geographic, Netflix, and the Onyx Collective; Then there was an invite to an evening with all the creatives of the BET Media Group; a Mary & George panel discussion; and on and on. That is followed later by the show’s “Emmy official event” (words that won’t make the Academy happy) with clips and Q&A and reception at Paramount Studios, with Monday host Jon Stewart joining the aforementioned stars for that one aimed directly at voters, and sure to be packed. Coming off January’s Emmy win against all the late night talk shows, and the last hurrah for Trevor Noah, Comedy Central is aiming to do it again with this unique shakeup of the single host format, clearly made possible by Stewart’s willingness to return to the desk, for at least one day a week ala Rachel Maddow who also turned her daily gig into a Monday only spot on MSNBC for this politically charged year.
