You didn’t think a night at the Emmys would go by without jokes about Kanye West’s interruption of Taylor Swift’s speech at last week’s MTV Video Music Awards, did you?

– Neil Patrick Harris in his opening remarks: “I’m here to ensure everything runs smoothly. Here’s hoping Kanye West likes ’30 Rock.’ “

– Ken Howard, after winning best supporting actor for miniseries for “Grey Gardens”: “I will make my speech as brief as possible in the hope that it won’t be interrupted by a congressman or a rapper.”

– Justin Timberlake as he and Tina Fey accepted their Emmys for guest starring role in a comedy: “I’ma let you finish.”
