Amazingly poor taste at the Emmies Awards.
My better half, who was watching the Emmy Awards, just told me that the show started with a skit that features host Conan O'Brian riding on airplane that crashes!!.
Why did no one think to pull the skit?
Most of the 35 million people who watched the Emmys saw a red-carpet special before the awards show, but the local audience had just watched a half-hour news recap about Comair Flight 5191’s crash, which killed 49 people.
