Ryan Seacrest Bombs as Emmys Host
Sunday’s 59th Primetime Emmy Awards tanked in the ratings!
It scored the lowest ratings ever for the awards show franchise, a 4.3 rating/11 share among adults 18-49 — which is down 17% from last year.
Only 13.1 million viewers tuned in, making it the second worst in history!
The record low was in 1990, when it aired on Fox and drew 12.3 million. Last year when the show aired on Aug. 27 on NBC, it lured 16.2 million viewers.
SEACREST OUT!!!!!

yeah..
the emmy’s were kind of boring
and i thought they could have picked a better host
what was the comment that he said about vanessa hudgens?
@($#*%#$(*%@#($
agree with 24. poor ryan. it’s not really him… people just don’t care haha.
Several reasons:
The pre-awards shows take away from the actual awards telecast.
In addition, there’s nothing to see these days on the pre show. They used to be only 2 hours before the show now there’s like a countdown to the awards as many as 5 hours before the show and on some tv stations, days before the show.
The shows are almost all ensemble with no breakout star that one must see.
There’s no glamour to the Emmy’s anymore.
Too many awards shows awarding for the same thing. People’s choice, Golden Globes and Emmy all nominate for tv shows. There should only be three awards shows on the air, one for TV one for Music and one for Film. All the other awards should be on cable or not televised at all.
Ryan was actually very good because he kept out of the way of the broadcast.
the theatre in the round set up a disaster from the moment it was thought up of. I’m sure that person is fired. That setting is only good from plays and musicals not an awards show. The reason? A big one that James Spader mentioned. One of the rudest things you can do is give you back to a live audience. Half the theatre saw nothing but the backside of the presenters and winners.
They should not air it next year just make it a banquet dinner.
ryan’s extremely hated on this site, all by angelina’s cult. she’s an uptight stuck-up bish and he catches hate for it - gotta love groupies. Lol seacrest’s a hustler who works harder than any illegal mexican. LOL 20 jobs and counting. he’ll be hosting major tv shows for the next 30 years, get use to him. ha
To Elliott
I agree that the shows have become self congratulatory and crude in mood and less festive.

Ryan is hated everywhere, not just on this blog, for the same reason Tom Cruise is.
There are lots of factors on why the Emmy’s tanked.
1. It’s football season, so half the male audiance is gone.
2. everybody hates Ryan Seacrest. you attach his name to somthing and you’ll only get annoying tweenage girls and gay guys. Straight men will boycot anything with his image.
3. The Emmys are made by professional Critics. A lot of people beleive that critics are elitiest who smell their own farts. so the Emmys don’t matter much to us common folk.
4. There was a major WWE pay-per-veiw going on at the same time, goodbye more of the male audiance.
Basically every guy had somthing better to watch. and people who hate elitiest were willing to avoid this. and everybody who hates ryan seacrest avoided this. Result only women and gay guys watched it.
I didn’t watch t5he Emmy’s specifically due to Ryan Seacrest being the host..Can’t stand the arsewipe.Bleh
Ryan Seacrest is the phoniest piece of crap going. As soon as i heard he was hosting the emmys i knew to take a pass. Can’t stand to listen to him for more than two mins, change the channel.

So that the trick. Try to find a way to get the fanboys and male audience interested….hmmmmm.
counter programming seems to be a great strategy.
Another reason is that we all know the winners could put people in a coma so why not spice things up with hot presenters? Why must the presenters be gasbags as well? Did they have to have Alec “creepy” Balwin present? but they couldn’t get one of those guys from Prison Break to present?
I tuned in, saw Ryan Gaycrest and then I tuned out.
Ryan, I don’t know who you had to BLOW to get that gig, I don’t even understand how he got so famous with his effing chicklet teeth…..just go away.
I’m not homophobic, but I have a problem with so called straight men like Ryan and Tom Cruise.
Come out of the closet and stop grossing straight women out.
Well the show was on Fox and the Emmy’s approached Fox about Ryan. The Emmy people were kinda afraid because they thought he was overexposed but they went with him anyway. BIG MISTAKE. He also hosted E’s pre-show!
I thought Ryan was very good. And I enjoyed the show. The only thing I didn’t like was the tribute to the Sopranos by the Jersey Boys. It seemed more like a tribute to Frankie Vallie.
I think the ratings were down because so many people want to see the New England Patriots (post scandal).
Ryan is the next **** Clark granted the gay **** Clark, he is hated because of wooden legs.
i did not watch the emmys either. i think they are long and boring. if i am interested in whether or not a show i like won, i just read the paper or computer news.
Ryan is soooo over rated and soooo over exposed,couldn’t have happen to a nicer guy.
He needs to stay far away from all award shows. Fans didn’t like the way he treated Brad and Angie.
I think the host has too little to do with the rating unless it is Timberlake hosting or so…People are just sick of the Hollywood SH!T…
people has spoken! especially here in cali! ryan seacrest is soo full of himself and he is not a humble person! GOOD FOR HIM! maybe after this hopefully he will come down from the clouds that he think he is in!
The way he’s always talked highly of vanessa, and about his love for her, and then to make fun really pissed me off. And i don’t care what any of you have to say, this is MY opinion.
Step off
Please Sarah Silverman was doggin Britney and Paris at the height of their scandal and everyone thought she was funny. He is hated because of Brad and Angie. The cult followers would hate their own kids if they spoke ill of the JPs.
His insensitive interview blasting Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes when she had just lost her mother was unbelieveable. I’ll NEVER watch him again!
Please idots if you think Brad and Angie have such power and can make so many people follow as “cult”, they sure are much popular than you bisshes would like to believe. Stupid American pigs.
