It was worth going thru the three hours of Emmy awards (on Tivo, thankfully) to get the two minutes of “award show banter” between Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert as they presented the award for best reality show.

God, are they funny!

If you missed it, Crooks and Liars has the video.

Update, 1PM: YouTube has Conan O’Brien’s opening number, which is well worth a watch. FWIW, I tend to agree that the very beginning of the montage was insensitive given yesterday’s morning’s events. I suspect a little more editing could have made it less of a cringe while keeping the (very good) Lost bit.

Update, 1:20PM: Oh, and one more thing while I’m at it.  The New York Times writes the following about Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ acceptance speech for best comedic actress:

There should be an annual award for most glaring omission in an acceptance speech. This year, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won for leading actress in a sitcom, the “New Adventures of Old Christine,” won the amnesia award hands down, wracking her brain onstage to remember whom she had forgotten to thank, while the camera panned to her husband. It took several beats, and whispers from the audience, to jog her memory.

I wasn’t watching too many of the acceptance speeches (thanks again TiVo), but I did catch this one. IMO, she did not forget her husband. She was either trying to remember someone related to the show and had a brain fart (while the camera on Brad Hall made it seem like that’s who she was trying to think of) or she was actually going for the joke. I think the former.
