They say it’s an honour to be nominated, but I think it would also be pretty cool to present an award too. Not that the role comes without its risks and responsibilities. First there's the awkward small talk you may have to make with your co-presenter. There are lines to flub, jokes that may fall flat and embarrassing teleprompter breakdowns to contend with....

The new guys in The Office
October 28 2011
This was easily the highlight of this year's Emmys for me. The guys from The Office and a few new employees tell us what they find most annoying about their jobs. Definitely worth a look if you missed it (or a second look if you did catch it). (Via College...
