Homer Simpson, Anthony Anderson and Bryan Cranston kicked off the Fox awards ceremony with a bang.
were supposed to be hostless, but casual viewers could be forgiven for thinking the Fox show decided to go with an animated emcee.
Seeing this from the audience, Anthony Anderson took it upon himself to "save the Emmys," racing onstage and then backstage where he fumbled around for a bit, and had his mother pretend to steal a couple of Emmys for him, before he found an Emmy winner who could talk about the power of TV: Bryan Cranston. Cranston then took the stage to applause from the well-heeled audience, before talking about ratings for the 1969 moon landing and more recent TV highlights, alluding to.
An announcer then introduced Ben Stiller to present the first award of the evening. Stiller continued the look back at TV by leading the audience through memorable figures from TV history in what looked like a museum exhibit before he got to Bob Newhart in what Newhart called a "wax museum of comedy," where Newhart reminded him he's still alive and joked he'd kick Stiller's ass.
