Jan 7, 2020 Full Review John Carman San Francisco Chronicle DeGeneres' comedy material ran thin in a hurry, and a succession of packaged Emmy tributes fell flat. Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Carina Chocano Salon.com [Host Ellen DeGeneres'] loopy and hesitant brand of humor and good-natured guilelessness lent the perfect combination of levity and honesty to a show that could have devolved into something as cringy and maudlin.

Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The Emmy awards proved more worthwhile than expected, largely due to host Ellen DeGeneres... The mix of patriotism and entertainment industry self-indulgence blended together surprisingly well. Jan 7, 2020 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel [Host Ellen DeGeneres'] lively sense of humor and irony kept the ceremonies moving at a sprightly pace.
