. . .and host Jimmy Kimmel started the audience-less show with an anti-Trump joke, of course:
"Of course I’m here all alone, of course we don’t have an audience. This isn't a MAGA rally, it's the Emmys." – @JimmyKimmel #Emmys #Kimmel @TelevisionAcad

We’re sure the clapping seals would’ve loved it though:

Bombs away. . .
Is it just us, or is it kinda hard to tell if these jokes are landing without an audience? #Emmys
