Emmys to make tired pandemic jokes.The star of “Black-ish,” 50, joined host Jimmy Kimmel in-person (socially distanced) for the 2020 Emmys to read the nominees for Best Limited Series and present HBO’s “Watchmen” with the award.Before reading the winner, Anderson, who often brings his mom along on his Hollywood gigs, did an extended and gravely serious bit with no comedy involved.“We have a record of black Emmy nominees this year, which is great,” he said. “This is the part where the white people start to applaud and nod.

Thank you, Jimmy.”“This was supposed to be the blackest Emmys ever. Y’all wouldn’t be able to handle how black it was gonna be, but because of COVID we can’t even get in the damn building,” he said.
