What the Heck Was Up With Shemar Moore During the Emmys Telecast?
Everyone has an off night, right? Right?
Shemar
Moore is known for being a smooth operator, but he didn't come off that
way during the Emmys. The "Criminal Minds" star served as the "social
media reporter" during the telecast, but he was more awkward than suave.

Despite nearly 20 years in showbiz, including a four-year stint as
host of "Soul Train," the 43-year-old heartthrob was
uncharacteristically tongue-tied and stumbled over his lines nearly
every time the camera was on him. And while "The Young and the Restless"
star is known for his playful banter and love of the ladies, his
delivery was off and it felt very uncomfortable. The stars who appeared
with him felt it, too, if the looks on their faces were any indication. That was no more evident than when he was teasing Carrie Underwood's performance, which was a somewhat somber tribute to the year 1963, including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said, "Including a fabulous performance by this lady right here, as sexy as she wants to be, Carrie Underwood," as he motioned to her body with his hand. The demure country singer looked embarrassed and laughed nervously; she looked down as the segment ended.

Moore's bit with "Mom" stars Anna
Faris and Allison Janney had a similar vibe. Halle Berry's ex introduced
them by calling them, "These two beautiful, sexy, vivacious women that I
love." Janney, 53, gave Moore a smile and put her hand on his shoulder,
but Faris looked down then crossed her arms over her body.
