Emmy faces irrelevance, producer warns
Don Mischer defended the pre-taping of eight awards, saying the show had to be shaken up or become irrelevant. Only 12 million watched last year's Emmys, a record low. "We are trying to keep the Emmys alive as a major television event," he said. "It may drift away from that and become a niche event. It may come to that. … The writing is on the wall, and every other award show knows it."
