FUNNIEST PRESENTERS
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart
The Comedy Central faux newsmen poked fun at the evening's environmental theme, with Colbert wielding a leaf blower that he said was fueled by ''Al Gore's tears.'' Both men mulled the hypocrisy of green-minded stars throwing a lavish and wasteful awards gala to pat themselves on the back, but as Colbert said, ''If entertainers stop publicly congratulating each other, then the Earth wins.'' Finally, to keep Ricky Gervais' Best Comedy Actor prize from going to waste (since the Extras star wasn't there to accept it), the presenters decided instead to give it to their old Daily Show pal-turned-Office star Steve Carell, who bounded onto the stage for a triumphant group hug (pictured). The ceremony may have been ecologically mindful, but none of Colbert and Stewart's gags seemed recycled.
