the Primetime Emmy awards

This came as a bit of a surprise.
Libertarian Tom Selleck was trying to intro a montage on stars who’ve passed over the past year, but the audience, who obviously didn’t realize he was leading toward a somber note, hailed him with whistles and catcalls.
That wasn’t the surprising part. Politics aside, Tom Selleck is still a ladies man (and I suppose a man’s man, though I’m not qualified to comment on that count).
The surprise came when Ronald Reagan was featured, and the venue erupted in applause.
The only person from that point on whose reception seemed to approach Reagan’s was Ray Charles.
Not even Brando.
