Video: The Emmys Basically Spoiled The Endings Of So Many Shows
()
Hey, Emmys: how about a spoiler alert? The awards show tonight featured a bizarre and spoiler-full montage as a tribute to the shows that ended this year.
Needless to say, the Internet (and all of us who haven't had the luxury of binge-watching all of these TV shows in a bunker like host Andy Samberg) were livid after watching these clips. While we didn't frown at the Emmys clips that included The Colbert Report or The Daily Show, we definitely mouthed a "WTF" when we saw some major spoilers for the series finales of series like True Blood, Sons of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire. We even found out how Two and a Half Men ended, if you were even curious.
"Welcome back to the Spoiler Awards," Samberg said after the montage aired. Well, that's very true.
Here's the montage video, if you don't mind spoilers:

Thanks #Emmys. I had DVRed all of those shows.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
