so proud to see two of our favorite shows get this recognition!

[@bluealvey]

Rhett and Link, the entire Mythical staff, how they've connected with us as an audience, it's extremely important and relevant. Thank you for being a platform that fosters these connections.

[@FirstWeFeast]

Bunch of legends right there

[@Roy-G-Biv]

Rhett and Link are legends. Period.

[@lisahenning3657]

Considering the level of viewership of these shows compared to traditional mediums, of course they should be included. Rhett and Link are pioneers and built an empire. They should be recognized for that.

[@popculturedad8128]

Those FYC intros were so awesome BTW anyone notice Post Malone was in both intros lol

[@star_platinum19]

Posty is a cutie, everybody loves himmm

[@chrisgraham6187]

I love both of these shows and if they get nominated for Emmys than its about damn time

[@donmelissanicky]

It’s about time. Not sure how or why KZbin wasn’t included for decades while Netflix, Amazon, and other steaming services are winning awards left and right.

[@LinkRocks]

That's a great point.

[@lushrimbaughiii]

Sean deserves an Emmy. He is a consistently great host who maintains his integrity under constant duress.

[@bellasobrino]

The quality of these shows alone deserves the nominations (plural). The content is superb and keeps getting better, bigger and keeps growing with its audience. I love both and they're definitely part of my week's routine💖

[@bluealvey]

I'm 41yrs old. David Letterman and Conan O'Brien, they're both heroes to me. Rhett and Link don't have that same connection.... They have better. The way KZbin allows for that direct connection with the audience, it's only part of it. The way Rhett and Link grow that connection, that's the real magic. They're not just paying attention to sponsors and corporate TV overlords and execs. That's why most TV has gone stale: it's about appeasing a bunch of fat cats that aren't the audience. We know Rhett and Link are listening to us because we see it reflected in every episode. They've done a remarkable job of keeping everyone connected, felt, seen, heard. Not only is it TV, it's one of the best TV shows of all time.

[@LinkRocks]

I'm 47 and Dave and Conan are my heroes too. I discovered Rhett and Link by accident and was immediately attracted to the show because they're my age. From there I started to enjoy the characters and crew members and now it's a daily staple for me.

[@klis31]

BRAVO!! Also 41, been watching Mythical since 2014.👏🏼 You worded this all so well and it mirrors my own sentiments perfectly. GMM/More and Ear Biscuits (and Hot Ones!) are in my top 10 comfort viewing across all platforms. Rhett and Link have created something truly unique and magical.

[@kendrariddle6175]

Love, love, love both Hot One's and GMM. They are comfort shows for me. Both are so brilliant in their own ways.

[@alyssatheexcellent]

I actually watch and consume most of my media through KZbin. I find the people more relatable because it is with real people- even if it’s fantasticalized or a bit of a character act. I found it a comfort through covid especially. The human interaction aspect of it keeps me feeling socialized and gives me a piece of mind that I couldn’t get on the day to day.

[@vports8046]

Sean Evans ! ❤❤❤ I watch every GMM episode, and love those guys... But the quality of the conversation that Sean delivers via Hot Ones is fantastic, he and his writers are brilliant.... And he's adorable.

[@SuperMustache555]

36:49 To Sean's point, the next great showrunner already did come from KZbin: Quinta Brunson

[@berlynhale2962]

It’s always strange to me when I see Rhett and link being so serious

[@keithross5650]

Link...your the 3rd person In our friendship...dude...well put

[@valeriem7077]

Love seeing rhett and link here!

[@sjduda]

What a thought provoking interview. I’ve watched both of these shows for years and thoroughly enjoyed getting to hear their perspectives on this subject.

[@annasylvester4516]

Huge fan of both of these shows. The definitely deserve Emmy recognition. BTW I'm almost 70 and love GMM. 😊

[@ronch182]

The sports broadcasting industry has scammed their way into many Emmys, why not give people who actually deserve it on youtube.

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

I'm so glad to see these included in mainstream entertainment interviews. That said, it feels like y'all met them with the same underestimated, substandard media kit in an interview that the industry already treats YT with. I'm glad she got more comfortable as time went on but it definitely felt more like an actual Zoom call just between them - not something produced for viewership. (Not to the fault of Rhett, Link, or Sean. They brought their professional selves to the table.

[@kornelijaviecaite6405]

Exactly. Felt a little off to me too 🙁

[@FoxyDrew]

youtube is mainstream entertainment. tens of millions have watched their videos on youtube, far, far more people than tune into the latest episode of kimmel.

[@pokelover02]

I love both GMM and Hot Ones and watch them every night with my family. We don’t watch any content besides KZbin. Cable and even streaming services are not interesting to us. The younger generations want authenticity, and these guys have it!

[@gracewhaley3945]

GMM has been a daily part of my life for well over 10 years now. Probably longer! I mean, it's pure. It's genuine and it's FUNNY. It's something that makes my heart happy every single day. ❤

[@SaskiaWorld]

Shout out to Link for understanding the importance of backgrounds

[@catalina9844]

Pretty sure that was all christy 😂

[@bodyofhope]

Link is a details guy.

[@ReyRena]

I love these shows so much! They totally deserve it! I purely watch YT content now and don’t consume any tv/cable platform. Creators like this deserve wider recognition

[@bonita1228]

#Mythical possible Emmy. WOW. This is exciting. ❤❤

[@RaineCloss11]

This is so awesome!!! 2 of my absolute favorite shows that I've watched for many years!!! I've been a Mythical Beast longer(Love love love Rhett & Link!),but absolutely love Hot Ones & Sean! Congrats guys!!!❤

[@therealcyber5]

KZbin is definitely more watched than a lot of TV

[@therealcyber5]

IN fact, at a superbowl party, we streamed it on one tv outside...

[@therealcyber5]

Gordon Ramsay also needs to be included in this convo...he has way more content here than on TV...and u can watch it when u have time...

[@Pandapoop]

For sure. I dont watch tv at all these days. But im always on You Tube.

[@keithross5650]

My fav 2 shows

[@Ramiryoooooooooo]

Who still has cable in 2024? I think the majority is turning to streaming, and KZbin is basically the ultimate form of cable. Literally anything you could ever want or need to know, its here. Do you need video game news, lawncare tutorials, language lessons, just cats slapping each other? Its all there. Also ... what the heck is going on with Link's shirt? Lmao I can't look away 😂

[@purpleamber1]

The universe within his sweater is too much for the camera 🌌

[@Son_of_Doerk]

Thanks for highlighting these amazing creators!

[@herb_rolls3929]

emmys are definitely including youtube because no one else paying attention to their awards show, i don't trust that they actually appreciate and want to acknowledge youtube productions

[@TimScheer1]

this became a rhett & link vs sean real quick... they were just low key responding to eachother.... name dropping.... was great

[@calpoker21]

the 2 best channels on YT and 2 of the best shows period.

[@boricuadelight]

Both shows completely deserve the recognition

[@ChayaR.]

Eyeballs are still eyeballs. 📺👀

[@margomargo2]

Yep.... Rhett and Link truly do connect with us. Gosh, they're great. I love them. I never watched "Hot Ones" and I guess I'll take a peek 😀

[@rainyday3216]

Worth the watch - he asks them thoughtful questions plus they're eating hot wings so it's fun

[@therealcyber5]

This convo is WAY OVERDUE...

[@eeo1973]

They showed the GMM shows with guests, which is rare. Sean will win because his show is nothing but guest stars. They’re different formats so I’m not sure how they can put them in the same category. That said, I’m a decades-long MB and a couple years-long Spice Lord. It’s well past time for this to happen.

[@whitneystriggow2368]

I watch GMM everyday, Hot Ones every week, and other youtube videos/creators who post weekly but I only watch Abbott weekly as far as traditional TV goes. I think KZbin has proven itself as a legitimate entertainment industry tenfold.

[@stevef1748]

Ironically, Sean didn’t mention he had both Rhett and Link on his show, but not vice versa 😂

[@stevef1748]

I watch both, but at the end of the day, Sean Evans would 100% get the Emmy over my boys Rhett & Link.

[@elijahcee4676]

I agree with everything they said, but there will be so much push back from the networks AND the hosts/actors in traditional tv. Conan may be their only saving grace since he likes Sean

[@eeo1973]

Conan is not on TV anymore either. He was pushed out.

[@methematics.]

Sean is a professional yappinator

[@dd4850]

Rhett getting greys in his beard ❤

[@TheChipmunkStew]

KZbin values some creators

[@therealcyber5]

Link's dad is the best guest...Rhett's dad had his moments too

[@8899maxi]

I am struggling with how slow she is asking questions...it takes so long to get it out

[@MatthewMS.]

KZbin mega caps

[@therealcyber5]

Kristen Bell and DAx Shepherd are THE ones that made it, Ramsay 2nd...

[@lichh64]

Hot Ones definitely deserves the Emmy more than GMM sorry
