Television's Big Night: The Top 10 Emmy Moments

Naturally, the least surprising awards show of the season honored a slew of repeat winners (30 Rock, The Daily Show, Mad Men), but thankfully, a few new faces like Jon Cryer and Kristen Chenoweth kept things interesting. Here are the ten best moments of the 61st Annual Emmy Awards.

The Obligatory Kanye West Joke

Neil Patrick Harris upheld the most important part of his hosting duties: delivering the inevitable Kanye West riff.

The award went to Kristen Chenoweth, who reminded everyone that she’s available to act in, say, Mad Men or The Office, now that Pushing Daisies has been canceled.

"Relative unknown Ken Howard?" Is the author of this post not old enough to have heard of "White Shadow"? Hence Howard's acceptance speech quip about his winning being "a nice start."

Oh, Daily Beast Video -- you're so young. Ken Howard might be a relative unknown to you, but in addition to many television appearances over the years, he starred in his own series, "The White Shadow," from 1978-1981.
