With no Emmys host this year, Homer Simpson, Anthony Anderson and Bryan Cranston teamed up to kick off television’s biggest night.
It all started with Homer Simpson walking out on stage — thanks to the magic of animation — only to fall through a hole in the stage at L.A.’s Microsoft Theatre. (Also thanks to the magic of animation.)
“What the hell was that?” yelled Anthony Anderson from the audience, who then went backstage in a very pre-planned bit, took an impromptu photo, made a joke about the coffee gaffe in the final season of “Game of Thrones” and found a suitable person to deliver a monologue about television: four-time “Breaking Bad” Emmy winner Bryan Cranson.
