Kimmel on Losing Emmys to Jon Stewart: ‘Sad, Rigged, Polls Say I Won... by a Lot’

EXCERPT:

KIMMEL: “The Emmys were last night, the old tinsel town reach-around. I don't know if you watched, but it was not a good night for us. It was a bad night for us. You know, I posted this morning, 'The results of last night’s Emmys were totally unfair in the category of late night show. Sad. Rigged. Polls say I won. By a lot.' Which is so true. We did win.

(Cheering and Applause)

Thank you. We won, but they gave the Emmy to 'The Daily Show' hosted by Jon Stewart. A few months ago, Jon Stewart wasn’t even the host of 'The Daily Show.' They swapped him in illegally. My own network, ABC, rigged it against me. They’re attacking me from the inside now. I was up against three other shows, it was three-on-one. And we won by a landslide. We have the biggest crowds. There are 10,000 people in this studio right now.”
