00:00This will be the largest audience to witness an Emmys, period!

00:08The Emmy Awards are finally here!

00:10On Sunday night, before any awards could be given out,

00:13host Stephen Colbert took to the stage with a musical number.

00:16It featured Anthony Anderson, Allison Janney, and a slew of handmaids.

00:20They all saying that everything is better on TV,

00:23especially in these politically charged times.

00:25Chance the Rapper joined in at one point, suggesting that it also might be helpful

00:29to get people involved.

00:31Hey, why not?

00:33After the host sang and danced, he had the audience cracking up.

00:38Literally.

00:39Look at Sarah Hyland. She couldn't even catch her breath.

00:42Some of his biggest moments were when he called out President Trump.

00:46In the beginning of the monologue, he joked,

00:48Hello sir, thank you for joining us.

00:50Looking forward to the tweets.

00:52Colbert pointed out that the Academy needs to shoulder some responsibility

00:56for the Trump presidency.

00:57He said,

00:58We all know the Emmys mean a lot to Donald Trump.

01:00Why didn't you give him an Emmy?

01:02If he had won an Emmy, I bet you he wouldn't have run for president.

01:06This is all your fault.

01:08And it didn't stop there.

01:09He added,

01:10Unlike the presidency, Emmys go to the winner of the popular vote.

01:14Where do I find the cards to tell that joke in this room?

01:16And the icing on the Trump chocolate cake was when he brought out

01:20former press secretary Sean Spicer.

01:22Colbert introduced him by asking,

01:24Is there anyone who could say how big the audience is?

01:27Spicer rolled out on a podium and reassured everyone that,

01:31This is the largest audience to witness in Emmys. Period.

01:34Both in person and around the world.

01:37The stunned crowd clearly couldn't believe that Spicer made a cameo within the first five minutes of the show.

01:43Colbert thanked him by saying, Melissa McCarthy, everybody give it up.

01:48The actress who hilariously has played Spicer on Saturday Night Live also couldn't believe it.

01:53Neither could we.

01:54Other standout moments from Colbert's monologue include him making fun of Oprah for being snubbed this year.

02:00And pointing out that Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown has proven that there are roles for actresses above the age of 12.
