Best Extreme Makeover
Garry Shandling
In a hilarious taped prologue, plastic surgeons marked up host Garry Shandling's face, targeting him for an eye job, a chin implant, and a sex-change operation. It was part of the entire Emmy ceremony's extreme makeover as ''the ultimate reality show.'' (The bit also saw NYPD Blue's Dennis Franz ''eliminated'' early as a nominee, complaining: ''I should have shown my ass again this year. My ass is money in the bank.'') Even the Emmy set was made over ''reality''-style, with the glass control booth built above the stage so the audience could see the production crew at work. But if the Emmys are a reality show, does it mean this was the most dramatic Emmys ceremony EVER?
