The 74th Emmy Awards are being hosted by Kenan Thompson this year, and it did not take the long for the Saturday Night Live star to bring out the corniness. After a brief monologue in which he noted that many of the nominees are from streamers this year — with a pretty on-point joke comparing “Netflix an chill” to “Paramount Plus and eating alone” — Thompson kicked off a techno dance-themed music number remembering some of television’s best moments.
The segment started with a tribute to Friends, perhaps in a bid to relive NBC’s glory days, complete with the signature couch and umbrellas. Unfortunately, the thing took a turn when a barrage of young dancers came out and the ubiquitous theme song was given a techno-fied update, which still somehow managed to feel immediately dated.
