Emmy Winner Tonight

Andy Cohen still can't believe we won an Emmy.

September 1, 2010

Tonight, the Emmy winner for Outstanding Competitive Reality Show Top Chef is back with a new episode at 10 Eastern. I just want to keep saying "Emmy" whenever I say Top Chef because I still CANNOT BELIEVE IT.  What an UPSET!!!!

Everyone in the Top Chef  family is still pinching themselves; the Emmy hangover has not worn off.  I don't know if it will EVER wear off. IF in the SLIM chance Amazing Race had not won the other night, I think our bet was on American Idol to take it home. Idol has never won and with Simon leaving, it just seemed like a foregone conclusion.  

I am still banging my head against a wall that I couldn't be there to celebrate with the TC family. URG. If you know me, you know that I hate to miss a party, and I ESPECIALLY hate to miss one in which we're being celebrated! And I DOUBLE ESPECIALLY hate to miss partying with the Top Chef team, who are the most fun group to tip one back with that you can imagine. We have had many late nights over seven seasons.

There is an amazing "Backstage at the Emmys" video available online where you can see the reaction in the Emmy Control room when Top Chef wins. The whole room breaks into applause. I have to imagine they're not only clapping for the show, but also because as TV producers they know that an upset is 'citing.  Anyway, it is cool that the whole room clapped....

And there are only three more episodes left of this season, plus the reunion. Tonight, Anthony Bourdain is there to help determine which four chefs move on to the next round in Singapore. It is a big episode.

Andy, Loving you and huge kuddos to you and Top Chef for the emmy!!!! Surprised? Why, the show is fabulous!! In your words, "WEE" weren't astonished, "WEE" (the viewers) were elated and if I may say so, It's about time. I love Tom C. and am waiting for the day when I can afford to go the Pebble Beach gala where Great chefs from everywhere come here to raise money for great causes. I still wish there was a way for the west coast to see watch what happens live when you actually are live!!!!!! I hope that Jeff gives good energy tonight as one of your guests and I have no doubt that Mary will be an awesome guest. To you for always keeping it real!!!!

Congrats for the really good work your team and yourself have done with Top Chef and Top chef masters.

bring back Susur Lee and Golving Armstrong and go to montreal for a finaly !!

Andy, CALL ME, I have a great idea for a new show. I'm serious, or tell me where I can go to let you hear my idea.

omg..i love top chef, the housewives..all of them and u! u and ur network have done soooo much for the gay community...congrads to u and ur team...keep us in the positive light! love u andy!

congrats andy,you and the bravo team are as u know doing a fantastic job!keep it up...

Bravo,Bravo, Bravo your the best.

Yeah TOP CHEF one of my favorite shows on TV have watched every episode since its inception. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL

Congrats on the emmy!! Wow you must have been so stunned that Teresa attacked you like that...animalistic is how I keep hearing it be referred to and that couldn't be more true. I was disappointed in the show because I feel it really targeted Daneille unfairly, even though I dont' really care for her, I would feel that way towards anyone....she surprisingly handled herself quite well all things considered.

Funny because some say you didn't come down hard enough on Teresa but I feel just the opposite. In light of all she has done and all the lies and manipultion she has taken part in...I thought she deserved much more "delving" from you.....oh well, I believe firmly in retribution and that the truth always comes out in due time.

Love you Andy....keep up the good work.

Andy- you could win a lot more emmys with quality programming like Top Chef. Kudos to you and them for a job well done. Please go back to a cool lineup like you used to have. The housewives have effectively jumped the proverbial shark and the antics have become shameful and cringe inducing. Criminals should not be lauded on television or promoted/rewarded. Rachael, Jeff, Kathy, Jackie, Padma, Tom and many others should be the stars of your network as they have actual talent. So more art, fashion, real estate, and more great guests on your watch what happens shows (which are great) like SJP, Seinfeld instead of those vapid shells dancing unerotically on tables. Peace out and keep grinning- you are adorable.

It was so sweet to win the emmy! I to thought that American Idol would win. Top Chef deserves to win, it is a cut above the other reality shows. Way to Go!

Andy, We need Full Episodes of all the shows. It's the economy and the lack of cable, so a lot of us are desperate. Please.

Congratulations!

Way to go! I am so proud to be a BravoTV Fan. TC is one of my favorites.

CONGRATULATIONS. Soooo well deserved. Top Chef is always inspiring.

Congrats Andy and Top Chef! Andy, your programming choices are amazing! Just a thought on Danielle Staub - I think that she may suffer from Borderline-Personality Disorder and may be a real threat to anyone woh crosses her path.
No judgment, just an observation.
Keep up the great job!

Congrats again on the Top Chef win.I love that show so much.Will we ever see you at the judges table or at least eating some of their food.It's a thought!

Congrats Andy Cohen! I adore you and I adore Bravo. Can't wait to watch the show tonight. I'm tuning into Bravo almost every night!!!

Good for you Andy. I love you on this show and i wish it came on twice a week.Keep up the good work
