Lots of articles today! First the LA Times has a nice piece with a few more details on how they’re saving time without cutting awards.
“There will be seven presenting teams,” producer Don Mischer tells Gold Derby. “They’ll each do two awards instead of one. That saves us walk-out time and the banter the presenters usually have to do before introducing an award. After presenting one award, the presenting team will jump right into giving out the next one.”
The same piece informs us that Neil will be “appearing on stage more than any other Emmy host ever”, and includes a running order for the awards. Neil’s Supporting Actor category is the third award of the night.
Bing claims to be the place to be for up to the minute Emmy news on the night, NPR have done a spotlight piece (and thanks to the reader who let us know that Neil will be on NPR’s Morning Edition today).
Videos: Neil previews the Emmys for Entertainment Weekly, and ETOnline catch up with the star at Wednesday’s CBS Season Premieres party. Finally, Neil discusses his part in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Kind of.

It seems we won’t be getting bored watching the Emmys this year (I mean, besides the fact that NPH is hosting
)
Am I the only one wondering why Neil seems to be reading something (like he didn’t know he would have to say “poop” the next time…)?

I think he was either kidding around, or he had to say it a certain number of times so he was keeping track on the script. Maybe. That’s just my thoughts!

I think the whole piece was meant to be a joke… like when the director comes in to yell at him and when he’s saying how he has to find the emotion behind the role and then they cut to him saying poop for 40 seconds… the whole thing is kind of making light of the fact that he’s playing a talking monkey that only says about three things over and over.
