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!!!!!

I don’t watch award shows any more because they’re stupid and boring. Celebrities make enough money, get plenty of attention and the whole thing is fake….
they thank God as if they cured cancer, drone on about the importance of their “work” as if they’re building homes for the handicapped or something truly valuable, and the commercials are boring, too.
Anything worth being said has already been said at every other award show.(they’re always “blessed” to work with a great cast, grateful to have a wonderful director, and the “nice” ones mention craft services…YAWN!)
Sorry for the rant but all these award shows are narcissistic. And they’re a total snoozefest….and PS am sick of celebrities voicing their political opinions as if they actually live in the real world. And PPS am sick of hearing people whine about success and the paps etc…
Maybe gaybe–
I would have said this if he had done it to ANYBODY. He was insensitive and used her to make himself look good.
Ryan is overexposed, red carpet, emmy’s, superbowl, yuck, he’s not funny or personable. Can’t stand him anymore.
I think this is because of the many bad shows that are today. The good shows today you can count in one hand! They always cancelled de good shows so why should I wacth an award show when I don’t care which one is gonna win, most of them suck anyway.
I love Ryan Seacrest snd thought he did a really great job…kept the show moving and no annoying jokes….He was a class act and it’s one of the only award shows I could watch from beginning to end without having to change the channel….can’t figure out what everyone hated….I think Ryan is getting bad reviews for no real reason except he’s so handsome and perfect…people hate him for that because they’re jealous!
Don’t think it’s his fault either, though he annoys the crap outta me with his “funny comments”
Good for him!! I don’t like Him!
Not sure why people are dissing TV or TV actors…the TV has had wayyyyy hugher quality art than the movies ever since Sopranos began…the major Hollywood movies have been pure swill….total garbage….sequel after sequel….I would rather watch a season of Lost or Six Feet Under or Office than sit through another lame action flick!
There were several reasons that this year’s Emmy Awards show was boring…
1. Ryan Seacrest hosting was a bad idea. They needed a comedian to liven things up and keep us entertained in between speeches. Ryan is suffering from over-exposure and so are we, the unfortunate TV viewers…please, give it a rest!
2. Fox was so trigger-happy with the censor button, switching to that awful shot of the venue when someone dared to speak in a way they thought might be offensive to the viewers or the Administration…they drained away every bit of excitement or anticipation about what might happen or what someone might say.
3. That whole “theatre in the round” idea fell flat, too…what brain thought that up? It distracted the presenters and the viewers.
This was the worst Emmy’s show I’ve seen and if they let Ryan Seacrest host next year, I’ll just watch the pre-shows and post-shows and skip the actual Emmy’s. I may boycott them, too, if Fox carries the show again. Enough with the censorship!
I thought Ryan did a fantastic job! I think he’s funny, down to earth, not to mention cute. :-) The Emmys was just boring this year and waaaaay to long. Ryan did a fine job.
Oh, and I want to add that actually, Ryan was the ONLY reason I watched. :-)
The Fox network should of known Seacrest is a joke.He is not funny and is about the most stupid host on T.V.The idol thing is bad enough.We do not need that show to find singers, actors, or anything else.Seacrest had his 15 minutes of fame like most of the winners on that show…time to put them all to bed.He has to go and the that show must go after that.What a waste!
I didn’t even watch, but oh well. Ryan probably won’t be the host next year.
