he's actually pretty good. yeah, it's a ridiculous routine, but he's obviously talented. and brave. very brave.

Until last night, I'd successfully avoided Josh Groban and his music. Is he always that bad?

I like Tina Fey and 30 Rock, and I'm glad they were winners, but a TV-award-giving body that ignores The Wire lacks credibility, to say the least.

Maybe if he'd performed the medley in Klingon...

Ouch. That Groban medley was painful to watch.

That Alec Baldwin profile made me incredibly sad.

Josh Groban is so very much better than this live musical abortion.

I thought Groban handled it pretty well, all things considered. Could've been much worse.

I thought it was the highlight of the show. Well, that, and finding out that JoAnne Worley is still alive.

Groban has a great voice, it is unfortunate what he chooses to do with it.

The South Park bit was the worst of the bunch, but besides that it was pretty fun to watch, especially considering the shows were (mostly) the old classics, not the new crap (notable exception: 2.5 Men, unwatchable at any frequency).

It was weird seeing policemen chase a bunch of black women in robes off the stage though.

Groban is a hack who has somehow convinced most of America that wildly undulating vibrato equals talent.

I dislike Josh Groban, but sadly, he was one of the few things that kept me awake...the five hosts thing was extremely painful and I'm guessing Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel have just doomed their chances to ever be nominated, let alone actually win...but Jeff Probst was a classy winner and smart enough to acknowledge that the 5 hosts thing was a bomb and he proved he was the best choice to win for best reality host.

Also, he has a big penis that may or may not be photoshopped.

Also, what can we do to prevent Jeremy Piven and The Amazing Race from ever winning another Emmy? I like Piven and love TAR but what's the point in giving them the fucking Emmy every fucking year?
