 Re: New Emmy Category
Indeed. Most of them don't even actually... host. Just exposition pieces.

 Re: New Emmy Category
Is there a host for The Amazing Race?
Maybe they're trying to find more ways of giving Emmys to that show.

 Re: New Emmy Category
I'm all for this, as long it's actually an elaborate ruse for sniping.

 Re: New Emmy Category
I like Phil, but he doesn't do a whole lot. Just explains things. Jeff actually gets involved during challenges (by telling people when they're sucking it up) and calling people out if need be during tribal. So... might as well give it to him right now!
