Ep. 41: “One Big Tuxedo-Clad Orgasmatron!” — ATS Synopsis
Emmy Sunday, September 22, 2002. The Hollywood Reporter newsroom.
One of the reporters privately called awards season “one big tuxedo-clad orgasmatron.” That was Emmy Sunday: tuxedos, stress, deadlines, and nobody sleeping.
Before that was my birthday at Skybar at The Mondrian Hotel on Sunset Blvd. then the next night was me and Bebbles' housewarming party.. I made two dozen butterscotch muffins, Bebbles made mac and cheese, ribs. Guests included Armand fresh from his ex’s porch, Renata with two boys and a cold, Chantay with greens and a baby, and a guest named Andres who left early because he was “uncomfortable.” I thought: this isn’t a support group. It’s a housewarming!
Gifts: Rubbermaid, scented candles, Chronic, crock pot, toaster, rice cooker. Everyone ate till they sweated. 10:30, Stone and I sat happy. First housewarming.
Emmys: ‘Six Feet Under’ shut out. Michael Chiklis wins for The Shield. Bob: “Chiklis is actually a sweet guy.” A team leader curses at production. I watch a woman walk away red-faced. “What did I do?”
My promotion’s sinking in. That's the episode and a recap to wrap it all up!
Sending love to our UK and Western Europe listeners in this heatwave, and to our community in Kenya. No Ebola cases there as of May 30, 2026. We’re a global community.
