I was in and out of it all night.  It was very easy to find, if you wanted to watch it.  On the one hand, very impressive production values.  It looked for the world like something you'd see on "real" television, and that wasn't true on their first couple of tries in this brave new streaming world.  On the other hand, since they weren't really beholden to network time constraints, certain things were allowed to...ramble.  (Lifetime Achievement winners Bill and Susan Hayes may still be talking, for all I know.) If you happened to catch the game show segment, you were treated to Tom Bergeron and Peter Marshall on stage together.  That was a delight, and there were a couple of prepared gags that weren't bad, but Peter, bless his nonagenarian heart, did go on a bit.

The music was by The Remotes, a TV theme song cover band that features several members who once were part of this community.  They were exceptional.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

As for the In Memoriam...Monty Hall and Rose Marie were included, but no Phil Rossi, Frank Buxton, or Merrill Heatter.

And at the Creative Arts awards, Adam Sandler won for TPIR.

(Steve Harvey, by the way, picked up another Informative Talk Show Host Emmy; his HOT daughter accepted on his behalf)

Outstanding Game Show Host: Wayne Brady (first win in this category after seven(?) nominations)

Okay Mr. Rayburn, back on the hook for you! (Meaning: most Outstanding GS Host nominations w/o a single win; only three...)

Cordially,
Tammy,

P.S. Geno did get a Lifetime Achievement honor in 1999, though.
