Lily, Dolly and Jane were the highlights of last night's 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. I adore all three of them, and it was so great to see them reunited as presenters (but it is hard to believe that it's been 37 years since 9 to 5). I was disappointed that neither Lily nor Jane won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Grace and Frankie - but I guess Julia Louis-Dreyfus needed a sixth consecutive Emmy for her performance on Veep (she is, of course, fabulous and deserving, but I think six awards for the same role is a bit much).


The other highlight of the evening was a standing ovation for Carol Burnett and Norman Lear, who were the presenters for Outstanding Comedy Series (which went to Veep for the third consecutive year).


The lowlight of the night was the surprise cameo appearance by Trump's former Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, who needs to go away and leave us alone. And the runner-up was Jermaine Fowler (from CBS's Superior Donuts) whose frequent screaming as the Emmys' announcer was neither hip nor entertaining - it was just downright irritating.

As for host Stephen Colbert, he was okay. His opening musical number of "Everything Is Better on TV" was fun, but his comedy bits with RuPaul (as "Emmy") and Jeffrey Wright (in a Westworld spoof) were not that funny. I give him and the telecast a grade of B- (but without the 9 to 5 reunion, it would have been a C).
