However, that didn’t stop the host Jimmy Kimmel In making the most of the bad situation, the show kicked off with an opening monologue that mocked the pandemic and supporters of Trump and Hollywood.
The host took to the stage to thunderous applause from the audience, all seemingly alive and in person as he mocked the “trivial and unnecessary” award show. However, in the middle of the opening monologue, it became clear that the footage had just been reused from a previous show. Kimmel hung a lantern on this fact when he discovered himself in the crowd.

“Of course I’m here alone, of course we don’t have an audience!” Kimmel said. “This isn’t a MAGA walk, it’s the Emmys. Instead of a live audience, we took a page out of a baseball game and cut out the cardboard for the candidates.”
So, the host highlighted some cardboard pieces in the crowd at Staples Center before embarrassingly noticing that the “Ozark” star was Jason Bateman It was there in person. The star asked if he could stay because he had gone crazy in quarantine. When Kimmel suggested that he could survive despite safety regulations if he agreed to laugh at his jokes.
Batman succinctly replied, “I’m out.”
