Jeremy Piven Blames The Cold Reception To His Rubbish Emmy Gags On Heidi Klum And Friends

Obviously many folk had opinions regarding the decision to allow assorted reality television hosts to present the Emmy Awards this year, and one of the people who happens to be firmly in the “BAD IDEA” camp is Entourage’s award winning star Jeremy Piven, who is blaming the dismal hosts for his own acceptance speech jokes bombing.

Jeremy Piven has blamed the Emmy Awards reality TV hosts for his ill-recieved acceptance speech.

The star took aim at the hosts, including American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest, Project Runway’s Heidi Klum, slamming their lacklustre opening sequence after his own speech dried up.

And the actor cites the hosts’ poor opener as the reason the audience were difficult to entertain.

He says, “I thought we were being Punked, but indeed that was the act – that they didn’t have anything… I was confused. I bombed. It felt and looked like the life had been taken out of the audience… there was not a courtesy giggle to be found.”

Or, alternatively, perhaps you just weren’t very amusing, Jeremy?
