With the Emmy Awards being a virtual show this year for safety reasons, it meant the Television Academy had to send “interns” to all of the nominees’ homes, potential Emmy Award in hand.
Youssef’s hilarious tweet has since gone viral, with people finding the entire procedure “2020 in a nutshell.”
Oh my. This is a wild reality we are living in. https://t.co/2wUIHcGeMz
