Dreyfus Steals Fey's Emmy in Late Night Hijinks

A seemingly innocent appearance by Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last night turned into a segment on actress-envy and Emmy-theft! The actress was up against Tina Fey for an Emmy this year; Fey won and took home her 5th statue, whereas Dreyfus was left going home to her two old, dusty ones. In her speech, however, Fey noted how she channels Dreyfus at times...meaning the Emmy really belongs to them both, right?

Conan himself has two Emmys, one for his current show, and one for Saturday Night Live.

Overrated? Those three are like a perfect storm of genuine funny. And yeah, JLD somehow is getting even more gorgeous as she ages.

More free publicity for NBC and the over-rated Fey and O'Brien! Thanks for nothing, Gothamist!

JLD is really hot. I appreciated her walking up those stairs. She gets my emmy for the day.

I think everyone in the world except for me has an Emmy. I was just looking at some local FOX5 news reporter's bio -- some hack I never even heard of until today -- and he has TWELVE.
