Ya know, I’ve always considered Whitney to be the best female vocalist of all time, but I’ve really begun to appreciate Aretha more in her passing, and I’m no longer so sure. You’re right; was a really nice touch!
The only problem was that after listening to the greatest singer in the world you won't paid attention to se segment "in memoriam"... she's too powerful!
@@happynewyear805 No one is perfect. Sometimes we learn and sometimes we don't. And sometimes it's too late. I still loved David and hoped he would someday conquer his demons. He's free now.
I had this phase where I memorized all the countries on the map and their capitols; after which I decided to watch documentaries on as many as I could: then I discovered Bourdain's show, which made me want to travel even more, and try all the amazing foods all these countries had to offer.
@MadelineTopper she fashioned alot of people for award shows and TV. She should have been on that list of people who passed away. She was a very well known woman in the calebrity world and should of had the same respect as the other people got.
1:50 @TelevisionAcademy Thank you Emmy for putting Judge Stone in the memoriam segment! I am a huge fan of Night Court. Thank you for including Harry. May he RIP.
That was a beautiful tribute honoring some great people who have passed starting with the Queen of Soul and ending with the same with her amazing rendition of 'Amazing Grace' as only she could do it💗💖💕💞
There was another "In Memoriam" for the Creative Emmys the week before (aired on FX two nights before the Primetime ones). He was included in that along with other "behind the scenes" folks. Agreed though he should have been in this one, frankly in John McCain's place. I can only assume he was included because Lorne Michaels produced the award show and had McCain on SNL a couple of times.
I was Sad that day. When he passed. Last time I checked on him he was doing fine but when the news broke I was surprised BECUASE even though his cancer was progressing and wasn't gonna stop , he was happy and joyful his last moments I forgot he was gonna go. Rip Stefan Karl Sefenson.
i just realized how odd it is to see tina fey speaking without making a big joke. it feels like there's a missing punchline or a silly dance somewhere and then you remember its the in memoriam speech.
R Navs yeah, i was like didn't everyone there know she is a comedian, and one of the best (in my opinion). To think that this emmys was boring as hell, wouldn't it be a little freshner to have her do what she's best at?
Deanna Lund (Land of the Giants), Marty Allen, Nanette Fabrey, Vic Damone, Billy Grahamn, Dorothy Malone, Robert Mandan, Verne Troyer and Ann Wedgeworth. I WIN!!!
She died in November 2017. The Emmys run in September. So are you saying they memoialized her two months before she died? Good if she made the daytime Emmys, list but she was better known for Evening Shade and Threes Company.
This was so dignified and respectful. The only thing that was missing was Madonna talking about herself for 10 minutes dressed a dream catcher. That would've made it extra special.
@Jeffrey Dunivant normally I would have said the exact same thing. However, given that Madonna did that exact thing during a segment at the VMA'S for Ms. Aretha Franklin...well I would agree with the original poster.
Having Aretha's say just "The Queen of Soul" would've been a really sweet touch. Cuz it's like "singer/songwriter" is too much of a simple title for someone like her
I wish they stopped doing this clip because it's always an uncomfortable judgement call on who's included and who's left out. And the variation of applause per person is the weird final word in the fame popularity contest.
this in memoriam tribute was emotional and brilliant and yes they miss a lot of legends we lost this and also it kinda through me off too we they included John McCain in there when he's not even a entertainer
How could the Academy omit Clint Walker? He starred in "Cheyenne" from 1955-1962 which was the first hour long western on television. "Cheyenne" single-handedly saved Warner Brothers studio from bankruptcy and helped usher in Warner Brothers tv with such shows as "Maverick", "77 Sunset Strip" and so on. How can anyone representing television have no regard for it's history. It's appalling!
A wonderful choice of music...but the omission of Robin Leach was glaring. He invented an entire genre of lifestyle television that remains of great fascination to this day.
They forgot to include Clint Walker,star of the television western Cheyenne. And I also wish that during the In Memoriam segment of the show the audience would just keep quiet and not applaud. If you can't give equal applause to all,keep your hands in your lap.
It's made even worse because some, mostly the actors, got way more applause than others. The final word in the entertainment industry popularity contest. I wish they would do away with this segment entirely because it's always awkward deciding who is and isn't mentioned.
Rip to my writer cousins steven boncho and bob schiller the writers of my favorite TV shows NYPD Blue and hill street blues and doogie howser m.d. and I love lucy and all in the family rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ you'll guys will be missed with all my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One day the young ppl seated in the audience will have their pics shown, and it will be their turn for the lukewarm response - from future generations.
Rip to everyone in memorial the saddest is the voice of the twilight zone for me because they are reviving the show and he won’t be the voice of the show anymore. Aretha Franklin was a force to be reckoned with.
"In Memoriam" is a final acknowledgment of industry folk, a last hurrah,if you will. It features both the known and unknown personalities who make the industry work. If there is tentative applause, it's because there are people featured whom most people simply do not know. How many people knew who writer Thad Mumford was? I knew,but was shocked to discover he was black,never having seen him til then! Or stuntman Jimmy Nickerson? Or Suzanne Gibbs? Many of these people were the invisible superstars of the industry,and were not only considered respected fellow professionals,but friends and even family in the entertainment community. Despite what people say,NOBODY knows EVERYBODY, hence the scattered applause. As for the MIAs,my guess there is once the segment is locked in, probably the night before,anyone who passes after that gets left out,but will probably be recognized the following year. And yes, I know some people who've passed well in advance got missed,THAT I can't explain. That's my two cents. Carry on.😌
Whether it was Cogsworth, Governor Ratcliffe and his assistant Wiggins, the Archdeacon, Mr. Harcourt, or Dr. Jumba Jookiba, David Ogden Stiers was a huge contributor to Disney throughout the 90s and early 2000s. Robert Guillame was another good man and fellow Disney contributor. Rest well, voice actors...
John McCain? He wasn't an actor. That one was weird. Just because Obama put his stamp of approval on him as a politician? What does that have to do with the Emmys.
@@walterminer4990 Holy Bible: And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. John 6:39KJV Jesus reiterates this 3 time in this chapter. Holy Bible: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.Revelation 22:12KJV if heaven is the reward no one's gotten it because Jesus hasn't returned yet. Holy Bible: All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; Job 27:3kjv Job speaks of this spirit you referenced from Ecclesiastes. It's just breath. Job speaks of this breath/spirit many times.
I'm glad to see they included Hugh Hefner in last year's show but not that immoral Stephen Hillenberg in this year's show. It's nice to see Hollywood still has morals.......
