So a few things happened at the Emmys last night. Some people won awards, host Andy Samberg told a few funny jokes, it was about as mildly entertaining as the Emmys usually are.

And then Tracy Morgan showed up. He made a surprise appearance to announce the night’s last award, Best Drama Series, which went to “Game of Thrones”. He was pretty emotional, but he was also able to crack a few jokes. He said, quote, “It’s been a long road back. I suffered a traumatic brain injury that put me in a coma for eight days. When I finally regained consciousness, I was just ecstatic to learn I wasn’t the one who messed up. “Only recently I’ve started to feel like myself again. Which means a whole lotta y’all women are gonna get pregnant at the after-party. It’s goin’ down.”

As for the other awards, “Veep” won Best Comedy, dethroning “Modern Family” for the first time since 2009. Jon Hamm finally won Best Actor in a Drama for “Mad Men”

And Viola Davis became the first African American woman to win Best Actress in a Drama, for “How to Get Away with Murder”. She used her speech to call for equality for black women in Hollywood.

Meanwhile, Julia Louis-Dreyfus won Best Actress in a Comedy for “Veep”, and Jeffery Tambor won the male equivalent for “Transparent”.

The hottest person on the red carpet was Olivia Culpo, and we mean that literally. Temperatures in L.A. were in the triple digits, and Olivia nearly fainted from the heat. It happened during a pre-Emmy interview with E!. She felt light-headed and bent down behind a podium.

She Tweeted a photo of herself in a wheelchair afterward, with the caption, quote, “When you almost pass out on LIVE TV!”

People are freaking because they ran a tribute to all the shows that went off the air, like “Mad Men”, “Sons of Anarchy”, “True Blood”, and “Nurse Jackie”  and they spoiled the endings of all of them. (You can watch it here.)

Emmy host Andy Samberg gave out a legit HBO Now username and password so people could watch it free. Sources say HBO was notified in advance and they were cool with it. But there’s no word how long the username and password will actually work.

The “In Memoriam” segment included Joan Rivers and Leonard Nimoy, but people are already complaining about snubs, most notably Batgirl and Christopher Lee.
