What red carpet couldn't be improved by tequila? - VIDEO

I don't know how most of you watched the Emmys, but I watched it in a conference room with my colleagues, working on features for AOL Television's Emmys coverage. It was just like being at an Emmys party -- we even had jambalaya! (OK, there was that whole "work" thing, too.)

But Guillermo on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' -- well, he had the right idea. He took a bottle of tequila to the red carpet and convinced a ton of celebs to do shots with him. Then, if he was still conscious (and after 20 shots, I honestly don't see how), he got the opportunity to watch the Emmys drunk. Hey, that's one way to make the reality-show hosts seem funny.

Check out this clip of Guillermo on the red carpet. It's hysterical (particularly the faces the celebs make after they've done their shot -- that ain't apple juice, folks). Once again, Ricky Gervais proves the funniest man standing by a mile; and I love how Cheryl Hines comes back for seconds. That's my girl.

I love the fact that the funniest man on US TV is Ricky Gervais.

Hm... Patricia Chui.

I think it's customary to say hello when you enter the room.

Did you and Maggie Furlong come in the same car?

Well, hello! I like long walks on the beach, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Friday Night Lights. And I would say that Maggie and I came in the same car, but hers is more of a Rolls, and mine is more like a VW Bug.

No, that didn't make much sense to me, either.
