MOST NECESSARY EMMY
30 Rock's Best Comedy award
Tina Fey's a funny lady who provided some of the evening's biggest laughs, both in her awards presentation with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and in her American Express commercial. So it was a pleasant surprise to see her brainchild 30 Rock snatch the Best Comedy prize from such popular contenders as The Office and Ugly Betty. Hoping that the Emmy would grant her low-rated show a few extra seasons the way Arrested Development's did, Fey thanked incoming NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman in advance for not pulling the plug, and she also thanked 30 Rock's ''dozens and dozens of viewers.''
