The 2024 Emmy Awards, hosted by Nate Bargatze, concluded successfully, ending slightly early. A unique fundraising element involved deducting/adding $1000 for every second speeches went over/under the allotted time for the Boys & Girls Clubs, resulting in a $350,000 donation. Eric Dane's last-minute absence altered plans for a 'Grey's Anatomy' anniversary tribute. The opening sketch, approved by Lorne Michaels, replaced a traditional monologue. Other highlights included a powerful opening by Stephen Colbert and tributes to 'The Golden Girls' and 'Survivor'. Producers Jesse Collins Entertainment are awaiting word on their return next year.
