WORST: I Can't Believe This Is the Opener

Perhaps calling on the worst Emmy hosts ever was not a good omen for the rest of Jimmy Kimmel's first time hosting the Big Show. Nowhere near as energetic as that other Jimmy's 2010 kick-starter, this festival of awkwardness relied on mugging (really with the ''I can't believe I just won'' faces?), hackneyed botox jokes, gratuitous violence, and Lena Dunham's perma-nudity to carry what was the hosting equivalent of baby's breath — filler.
