Andy Samberg appears in the first teaser of the 67th Emmy Awards. He introduces himself as the host and the seven words that "sound dirty that you can say" on live television.
Learning from George Carlin's famous 1972 "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television" monologue, Samberg lists the words that sound as dirty. The first-time host ends up with "corkscrew", "kumquat", "shuttlecock", "dictaphone, "annals", "shan't" and "but".
This year's Emmy Awards will air live September 20 from the Microsoft Theater on FOX. During the TCA press conference earlier this month, Samberg talked about what kind of host he would be. "Hopefully a funny one. Tina [Fey] and Amy [Poehler] are standard I think," he said. "They are good at keeping it feeling really loose with a lot of good writing underneath that."
He was also open to having his comedy group The Lonely Island to make an appearance, but "we're not going to force it if it's not right." As a preparation, he was "definitely watching [prior Emmy shows] more than I normally would. I'm researching [the shows], understanding the culture of each show."
