man going thru the emmys hosts over the years was pretty hilarious, the idea that this thing might be a kind of warmup gig for the oscars doesn't seem to happen until the turn of the century. john forsythe hosted this thing regularly.

I don't remember this but the 86 emmys look to have been pretty harsh

Never saw nor even heard of this, but within two sidebar clicks of the video aero posted, I found this, for which I am eternally grateful.

it's such a bummer that this doesn't appear to be on youtube or anything. surely someone's got an unconverted VHS of the broadcast sitting in the attic somewhere.

I hunted down a rumor that Sandra Bernhard had done an impression of Shelly Long on the 86 Grammys on Letterman, but couldn't find that. if it's around, it might be as close as you can get

Hard Boiled Entertainment2 years ago (edited)Such a tragedy that Hollywood wasn't doing "classic"-style, MGM-type musicals in the 1980s, a la Gene Kelley or Judy Garland back in the day. Shelley could've had a LOT more opportunities to shine, with that ever-so-talented voice.
Oh, and of course there had to be a nod to the legendary Sam & Diane (2:48)!
Gotta love the cute awkwardness when she "sheds" the outer dress--both incredibly awkward and (thanks to how much of a class act she is about it) so adorable!
BTW--is it just me...or is Shelley REALLY putting her heart into "How To Handle A Woman", more so than any of the other numbers? (I swear, she's brought to passionate tears when she sings the reprise!) Suddenly, I wonder if she's performing it as if it's Diane singing some vital words of wisdom to Sam...?
