People Could Not Stop Talking About The Announcer At This Year's Emmys
Jermaine Fowler is really getting the audience going.
When a winner is revealed at an awards show, audiences usually hear some dry voice saying how many times the winner has taken home an award before, etc. etc.
But at the Emmys on Sunday, the voiceover was hard to ignore. The announcer had much more swagger, passion, nerve, and bias, tbh.
The Emmys announcer making very clear who his favorites are is exactly how Emmys announcing should be
I mean, they were SO FREAKING EXCITED about Issa Rae. And she was just presenting!
One of my fave #Emmys moments so far
People started wondering who was behind the voice.

WHO IS DOING THE VOICEOVER?SOUNDS LIKE THE CRACKHEAD JENNIFER WHO LIVED DOWN THE STREET FROM MY GRANDMA. I WANT DIVERSITY BUT COME ON #Emmys
Soon, comedian Jermaine Fowler of CBS's Superior Donuts revealed himself.
He was clearly having the time of his life.
And he definitely kept things interesting.
I'm going to read every single word written about this announcer tomorrow. #Emmys
