BlindGossip – This entertainer was a presenter at the Emmy Awards. Nice person, very talented, slightly drunk. They didn’t weave on stage or slur their words, but they did down three alcoholic drinks just before going on stage. Their co-presenter saw this go down and responded “Oh, s*” when told by a stage hand that they should be prepared to handle all the dialogue solo.
Kiefer Sutherland… he’s a drunk.
Kiefer for sure. I watched him present can’t remember with who. I wondered why he hardly spoke
Well, if it had been ME, I might have swallowed ONE small drink directly before stepping onstage. It’s not like I’d be out there that long, or doing something that requires fine motor skills, LOL. As to who? Could be any of ‘em. If they aren’t seen drinking alcohol, they’re gulping down “prescription medication” beforehand.
Ricky Gervais?
No, he’s always like that, it’s got nothing to do with alcohol. And he always presents solo, with a lot of room for adlib.
Ricky Gervais was my first thought, but he presented alone. The Blind says he had a co-presenter.
there were 2 presenters who came out and i cant remember exactly who it was or wat they were presenting…but it was some lady and she kept lookin at her co-presenter and then would carry on reading the teleprompter…i think the other presenter only read the name from the envelope…ugh, does anyone know/remember this ?! it was kinda awkward moment…
Three drinks and they’re slightly drunk? What a lightweight!
One drink and I’m slightly drunk. Three and I’m hanging on people.
Ricky Gervais presented alone. Not him.
what about patricia arquette? she presented w/jlove hewitt and patricia barely said a word
Gotta be Jennifer and Patricia Arquette. Patricia barely said anything and seemed out of it.
I agree, I remember the first time she won she got on stage and said she was a bit drunk.
they called the person an entertainer which leads me to believe it is someone other than a straight up actor or actress…
The only name that has a connection to one of the words used in the blind is Sigourney Weaver (weave on stage). Too obvious? I didn’t watch the whole thing so I don’t know who she was on stage with, but it’s just an idea.
Sigourney Weaver presented alone.
Yeah, I picked up on that too… Tracy Morgan?
Tracy Morgan presented alone, so it’s not him. My money is on Patricia Arquette.
Aarghh! Forgot about that… Arquette it is. I felt so bad for JLH, she was totally left out there hanging on the comedy of that bit.
Blake Lively. The dress was great, her presentation embarrassing to watch.
I distinctly remember someone with a co-presenter was slurring just slightly–my (former) bartender-radar went off—-but I can’t remember who it was. It was a guy as I remember, but of course a lot of the celebrities might have been drunk.
Patricia Arquette spoke as much as Jennifer Love Hewitt.
I remember Micheal J. Fox didn’t read his lines and his co-presenter had to read them, but that’s probably due to his condition.
MJF did read, its on of the few I actually saw so I know he read.
MJF did read his lines, in fact he cued his co-presenter (can’t remember who it was other than an older lady) when she didn’t say hers.
Justin Timberlake!
Hmmm… was this at the Emmys proper, or the Creative Arts ones the week before? If it was for the CA’s, I’m pretty sure I can identify the subject..
Sigourney isn’t the only “weave” connection. Patricia Arquette’s grandfather was Cliff Arquette who’s character was Charlie Weaver on Jack Parr and Hollywood Squares.
Co-presenters (two):
Tina Fey Jon Hamm
Julia Louis Dreyfuss Amy Poehler
Blake Lively Leighton Meester
Jon Cryer Hayden Panetierre
Kevin Bacon Kyra Sedgwick
Kate Walsh Chandra Wilson
Jennifer Love Hewitt Patricia Arquette
Keifer Sutherland Anna Torv
L.L.Cool J Chris O’Donnell
Steven Moyer David Boreanaz
I think I spelled them right.
The presenters that seemed a little off to me, were three cast members of The Big Bang Theory: Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki.
But it was a brief occurrence.
