Emmys — 54th Emmys

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Conan O'Brien does a heroic job in his debut as host, but he can't save a bloated 54th Emmys that is packed with glaring self-promotion from the telecast's host network, NBC.

Virginia Heffernan Slate All in all, an excellent night at the Emmys -- very little art and a lot of entertainment. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times [I want to thank] Conan O'Brien... for his easy, effortless wit in his new role as Emmys host, with an enormous assist from those who wrote one of the funniest opening monologues in Emmys history. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly It lasted too long... and giving the nebulous "Governors Award" to ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox for covering Sept. 11 assiduously seemed superfluous, bordering on the tasteless. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review John Levesque Seattle Post-Intelligencer Yes, Conan O'Brien hosted a fast-paced ceremony that moved along smartly and was remarkable for an absence of long-winded tributes. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun O'Brien never seemed to connect with the audience in any meaningful way. Jan 6, 2020 Full Review Roger Catlin Hartford Courant As a first-time host for the TV industry's biggest event, O'Brien didn't exactly kill, but he remained consistently amusing with jokes that seemed one step removed for distance and irony.
