The Emmys have been hosted by some wonderful, funny performers. And then there are the others.
Like the Oscars — which alsothis year — emceeing the Emmys is a risky endeavor for even the most polished of entertainers. It can be an ideal platform for showcasing a performer’s quick wit and savvy industy knowledge, or a landmine of flat jokes and failed bits. Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris are among those who won praise for their handling of the Emmy spotlight. But there are plenty of others who received less than a passing grade.
The unlikely combo of Jenna Elfman and David Hyde Pierce scored when they teamed up to emcee the 51st Primetime Emmys. A highlight of their pairing came when, attired in leotards, they defined some of the night’s nominees through interpretive dance. Former Times TV critic Howard Rosenberg gave the telecast a thumbs up, writing that the duo “were pleasant enough and didn’t get in the way.”After 9/11, DeGeneres was set to host the Emmys, but it was postponed twice.

R.I.P. Ric Ocasek: 10 Essential Albums He Produced for Other ArtistsThe Cars’ Ric Ocasek was best known for fusing classic rock and new wave on innovative Billboard Hot 100 hits like “Just What I Needed,” “My Best Friend’s Girl” and “Shake it Up.” But he was just as adept at taking promising material by 1990s alternative rockers -- Weezer, Nada Surf, Guided by Voices -- and tuning it up, from rough-hewn to radio-ready.
