In case you didn’t catch the Emmys last night, it opened with a parody/skit of many different Emmy nominees. They spoofed Lost up front, with Conan crashing on the island (mind you, they don’t show an actual plane crashing..) and running into Hurley, who leads him to a hatch, which leads him to the Office… just watch and see.

Anyhow, there was a real plane crash in Kentucky a few hours before the Emmys aired, and people are calling the Emmy spoof insensitive. Look, I’m sorry the plane crash happened, that sucks (and I’m still trying to figure out how that happened.. talk about a stupid mistake), but come on, it’s clearly spoofing LOST, a show about plane crash survivors. Also, I doubt the network is going to ditch an entire opening segment (which they probably spent numerous hours/dollars on) just because of an accident.

Nikki Finke over at the Deadline Hollywood daily rants how poor taste it was, blah blah here, asking “What was NBC/Conan thinking?” I’ll tell you what they were thinking.. that 99.99999% of the country would find it FUNNY, genius.

People just need to lighten up. It was a hilarious opening. Not that I really care about the Emmys, though..
