The Twitterverse seemed to be affronted over Conan's overeffusive welcome to the TV Academy CEO, claiming that he was disgracing Debbie Allen and diversity. No, it just proved how humorless idiot millennials are.
Personally, I would love to see Oliver crapping on everyone as Emmy host, but that won't happen unless HBO televises it. If it's Fox next year, who's going to host? Nick Cannon? Dr. Ken? Chef Ramsay?
