Jon Stewart Hilariously Accepts 10th Consecutive Emmy for Best Variety Series

The last time another show won the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series, its competition included ABCs Politically Incorrect, Bill Mahers previous broadcast gig.

That was in 2002, and in every Emmy show after that, Comedy Centrals The Daily Show has been victorious.

Tonight was no exception as Jon Stewart and crew accepted their tenth consecutive Emmy, beating out sister program The Colbert Report, Mahers HBO show, Saturday Night Live, and late-night talk shows from Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.

Presenter Ricky Gervais joked not again as he announced that The Daily Show had won. Stewart was then restrained by Colbert and Fallon, who were upset at losing out.

And as expected, Stewart delivered on some comedy in his speech, taking a swipe at the predictability of the Emmy Awards when, in the future, aliens discover a box of these [trophies].
