Morning Debriefing 9/19/11
1) Our 2011 Emmys Summary: Modern Family is the Emmy’s favorite comedy, Louis C.K. didn’t win anything, The Big Bang Theory did win something, Outstanding Guest Actor in A Comedy Series is an award, despite moving to TBS, Conan loses out to NBC again, and we still think awards shows shouldn’t be televised.
2) Kumail Nanjiani, Gears of War 3, Barbara Kingsolver, and a “Make A Wish” Kid can only make for a hilarious Funny or Die sketch.
</p> <p>4) Chris Hardwick’s Ministry of Laughs on BBCA gets a promo…</p> <p><iframe width=“500” height=“284” src=“http://www.youtube.com/embed/0rOTT7GQSHg” _mce_src=“http://www.youtube.com/embed/0rOTT7GQSHg” frameborder=“0”>
3) Patton Oswalt’s Finest Hour is available for purchase or download tomorrow!
4) The Midnight Show debunks the myths of twins in ads.
5) Who wants to fund an animated horror short starring Paul F. Tompkins?
6) Louis C.K. is in the A.V. Club again today in what inevitably be quoted on Tumblr then reblogged throughout the entire blogosphere including right here, which doesn’t bother us in the slightest
7) Oh we forgot regarding the 2011 Emmy Awards: Jimmy Fallon’s angry clap deserves its own statue. Forget an emmy; it needs a life size one.
