first time hosting the Emmys proved that the “Saturday Night Live” veteran is ready for prime time — despite his one-and-done NBC sitcom, “Kenan.”Thompson, the longest-tenured “SNL” trouper (19 seasons and counting), provided a sure, guiding, self-deprecating hand and deftly kept the Emmy-cast train rolling — while staying as far under the radar as appropriate to allow the night’s winners to bask in their moments of glory.Thompson did, of course, participate in the usual — contractually obligated — awkward opening segment. This year, it riffed on “legally cleared TV songs” and Thompson showed some fierce dance moves joining the fleet-footed ensemble that strutted to theme songs from, among others, “Friends,” “Game of Thrones” and “The Brady Bunch” (with Thompson replacing Alice in that show’s iconic montage).Later in the telecast, he introduced the accountants from Ernst & Young — then promptly shooed them off the stage.

This recognition of our mission and our achievements means so much to Madeline and I and our team, who are here in numbers tonight. Tonight is about honoring the best of television, and as you know, as Lizzo knows, television can often directly impact how people see themselves and judge their value in the world. And in the time since I launched the institute, we’ve made a great deal of progress but still there’s more work to do, of course. Many of the content creators that we’ve partnered with are many of you. So thank you all for your support. And if there’s anybody else that thinks we might be able to help you, just call us. Thank you very much.”
