I completely agree w/ Flavorwire’s comments re: Variety/Music/Comedy Series Emmy Nominations

1) Major fist pump for Conan. Totally deserved.  
2) Chelsea Lately is hilarious and I wish it would get more attention.

Snubs: Well, well, well! Somewhere, Conan O’Brien is doing a serious fist-pump. He made the list while the two biggest names in late-night — Jay Leno and Dave Letterman — are conspicuously absent. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel Live has earned a ton of praise this year and still couldn’t crack the list. Also, although no one seems to agree with us, we think Chelsea Lately is wonderful.

Surprises: The only show to make the list this year that didn’t appear in 2010 is Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. And you know what? We hated Fallon on SNL and were skeptical of the show when it was announced, but we think he’s absolutely earned it.
