Someone at CBS thought it would be a good idea to have soap star and model Shemar Moore hang around the Emmys and stand next to talented legends and stars like Bob Newhart and Carrie Underwood. He was described as the “social media reporter.”
One word on Twitter was invoked over and over again to describe Moore’s skills. Or lack thereof.
“Awkward.”
Shemar Moore should open the 'Shemar Moore Centre for Awkward Hosting'.

I love Shemar Moore but him backstage at the #Emmys is awkward.

What did Shemar Moore do to deserve this? Being banished to MC an awkward interloper party must be punishment for something. #Emmys

That Shemar Moore tease, or whatever it was, was awkward. #Emmys

And the award for the most awkward moment of the #Emmys is any time Shemar Moore is on camera. Run away Anna Ferris!

Shemar Moore: proving that hosting is harder than people think it is one awkward commercial break at a time.

Yowch.
I hope I'm not the only one who thinks the clips with Shemar Moore are awkward! #Emmys

Nope. You’re not alone.
