About Emmys
The Emmy Awards, or Emmys, are an extensive range of awards for artistic and technical merit for the television industry. A number of annual Emmy Award ceremonies are held throughout the year, each with their own set of rules and award categories. The two events that receive the most media coverage are the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, which recognize outstanding work in American primetime and daytime entertainment programming, respectively. Other notable American national Emmy events include the Children's & Family Emmy Awards for children's and family-oriented television programming, the Sports Emmy Awards for sports programming, News and Documentary Emmy Awards for news and documentary shows, and the Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards and the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards for technological and engineering achievements. Regional Emmy Awards are also presented throughout the country at various times through the year, recognizing excellence in local television. In addition, the International Emmy Awards honor excellence in TV programming produced and initially aired outside the United States.

Other times Emmys came up
There was the RCA image orthicon tube. That was the first one. Then there was the EMI Emitron. Okay. We've got the RCA image orthocon tube and the EMI Emitron. You've been doing this show long enough, but if I ask you the question, which of those two were the Emmys named after? What would you go for? I'll go off the Emitron. The Emitron, yeah. You'd be wrong.

I didn't know that much about Glenda Jackson. I feel like she was slightly before our time, but she was so successful as an actress. She got two Oscars, three Emmys and a Tony Award, so like the Holy Trinity of acting things. Then, of course, she quit it all to join the Labour Party and become an MP. She had these two careers, one after the other, both, you know, very effective, very successful.

A biography was called If I Know Then What I Know Now, and it came out, I think after she'd won her Golden Globe, maybe, or an M.E. or something like that. She said, after 50 years in the business, I'm an overnight success. She got her first named role when she was over 60. Her first role was she was credited in a film, and then she goes on to win Grammys and Emmys. There's hope for her. She's very good in this film, I must say.
