The Emmy Awards and Jimmy Kimmel getting Josh Groban to make a joke with a One Direction song leaving no time for Matt Damon.

 "Normal" people will probably not like it; they won't get it since you really really have to know and love and be completely up-to-date and in-tune with your popculture.

The American late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was the host of the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night in America and tonight on M-Net.

He did this spoof  "In Memoriam" segment - to himself during the Emmys. Very clever he got Josh Groban to sing it - the song is a cover version of One Direction, "What Makes You Beautiful". Similar to his talk show he works in his meme of "Sorry Matt Damon" as well, and Josh Groban plays along.

It's all so popculture dense, you're either going to get it and get it all, or you will be completely confused.

It's clear that Jimmy Kimmel loves television. He actually watches it. A cool moment was after the montage of TV shows and dramas when it was clear he watches all of those shows and saw all of the images and stories from the past year, and then deadpanned with his wit: "I really do need to get out more".
