Shrapnel Flies Over Bombed Emmy Bit
Generally regarded as one of the most perplexing unsuccessful and hit shows in recent memory segments, the opening marked the show hosts five - Ryan Seacrest, Heidi Klum Tom Bergeron Jeff Probst And Howie Mandel, all candidates for the new reality host dormant category - bantering on stage without any material provided. Probst later explained that the segment was the result of the quintet of not being able to reach a consensus on how to open the show. The segment was quickly criticized as a vacuous time waster winners as Jeremy Piven And Kirk Elli.
