Will Thorne Staff WriterAfter a host-less edition last year, Jimmy Kimmel returned to emcee the 2020 Emmys and went straight to the heart of why this year has been an especially calamitous one so far.“The big question is why would have you an award show in the middle of a pandemic, no seriously, I’m asking why are we having an awards show in the middle of a pandemic,” Kimmel began.“This has been a miserable year, a year of division, injustice, disease, zoom school and death,” he went on, before lightening the mood a little with some cheeky digs at Norman Lear for his substantial age, and Quibi for its substantial expense.Kimmel is hosting live from a stage in the Staples Center, however, the massive stadium is empty due to COVID-19.
