We Could Watch Leslie Jones Hilariously Freaking Out While Announcing Emmy Nominations All Day

It's safe to assume everyone involved was excited about the Emmy nominations yesterday. But it seems unlikely even the nominees were quite as excited as Leslie Jones was while announcing them.

The actress and comedian could barely contain her joy with practically every announcement—no, scratch that, she just didn't even bother to try to contain it—and it was everything we all need in 2020.


You can watch her enthusiastic announcements here.

Motion to nominate Leslie Jones for an Emmy for her performance while announcing nominations for the Emmys.

Despite being up at the crack of dawn to deliver the announcement—the broadcast began at 8:30am Pacific time—Jones brought the kind of contagious energy to the show that could make even people who don't care about things like the Emmys catch Emmy fever.

Jones opened up by exercising her stand-up chops, getting off a few jokes about how nobody was in the studio because of social distancing and the trials and travails of air travel in the time of a pandemic.

Then, Jones gleefully welcomed her co-presenters Laverne Cox, Tatiana Maslany and Josh Gad, joking around and doing bits with each one of them as they presented their nominees.

But it was when it was Jones's turn to announce nominees that she really shone. Jones simply could not contain her excitement while announcing the Best Comedy Series nominees, basically losing her mind when her favorite shows title's came up.

 A few representative quotes?

Jones on Netflix's Dead To Me:

"'Dead To Me'--I love that show!"

On NBC's The Good Place:

"THE GOOD PLACE! AHHHHHH!"

On HBO's Insecure:

"inseCU-HUUUUUUURE!! INsecure!"

And she had no shortage of excitement for her favorite actors either.

Actor Zendaya got a similarly effusive tribute, while Octavia Spencer and Regina King also got shout-outs that were just dripping with pure joy.

"Congratulations, Octavia! Regina! Oh my goodness, this is a great day!"

And on social media, of course, people were 100% here for Jones's enthusiasm.









If Jones gets this excited about the Emmys, just imagine the kind of glee she'll bring to the upcoming reboot of the classic 90s game show Supermarket Sweep.

It'll be enough to carry us through the entire decade, at least!

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was widely mocked after he shared a video on social media of his "morning routine," with time stamps showing his activities—only for viewers to notice that a standard black-and-white wall clock visible in part of the video showed a very different time.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
