2022 International Emmy® World Television Gala Program

50TH

INTERNATIONAL EMMY® AWARDS

GALA

PROGRAM MONDAY NOVEMBER 21, 2022

WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT

Welcome back to the Hilton ballroom, the International Emmys, and the kind of Gala we have loved for most of the last 50 years. This year’s Gala celebrates the Academy’s 50th, and honors two outstanding women who have done so much for our industry, Miky Lee and Ava DuVernay. You can read about both of them, their work and their incredible careers inside this program.

Each year the Gala is the culmination of a year-long process in which television programs in 15 different categories, are selected, entered, judged, and then compete for an Emmy®.

This has been an outstanding year for the International Academy, as it emerged from pandemic restrictions and gradually picked up speed. Our staff went back to work at our offices in New York, and in person judgings took place at most of our judging sites around the world. We had a large number of entries, and the finalists represent 23 countries and every inhabited continent. We have a full roster of categories, and this year we have added a new one, Sports Documentary. All of our entries taken together provide a broad and comprehensive view of the state of television programming around the world.

Over the past weekend, we have once again held our International Emmy® World Television Festival, a comprehensive showcase of all our nominees, and panels and conversations with their creators. The Festival has been on hold for a couple of years because of the pandemic, and it’s great to see it resuming.

So, welcome to the International Emmy® Awards Gala. Congratulations to the International Emmy® winners, best wishes for next time to the other fine finalists, and let the International Emmys begin.

AWARDS HOST

PENN JILLETTE COMEDIAN & WRITER

Penn Jillette is a cultural phenomenon as a solo personality and as half of the world-famous Emmy Award-winning magic duo and Las Vegas headliners Penn & Teller.

Together since 1975, Penn & Teller’s live show spent years on Broadway and is now the longest-running headliner show in Las Vegas where it plays nightly at The Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The pair has been awarded Las Vegas Magicians of the Year an amazing nine times.

His solo exposure is enormous: from Howard Stern to Jimmy Fallon, from Oprah to Colbert, to the Op-Ed pages of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. He has appeared on Dancing with the Stars, The Masked Singer, as a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent, Saturday Night Live, and hosted the NBC game show Identity. As part of Penn & Teller he has appeared on hundreds of shows, from The Simpsons and Friends to Billions and Young Sheldon He recently co-wrote an episode of the Emmy-winning Netflix series Black Mirror. He created and cohosted the controversial Showtime series Penn & Teller: Bullshit! which was nominated for thirteen Emmy Awards, won him a Writers Guild award and was the longest-running show in the history of the network. He currently co-hosts the CW Network hit competition series Penn & Teller: Fool Us! which was nominated for a 2017 Critics’ Choice award. The series returned for a ninth season in October 2022.

In 2020 he co-wrote the smash West End comedy Magic Goes Wrong, along with Teller and Mischief Theatre, which was nominated for an Olivier for Best Comedy Play. Penn’s latest book, the New York Times Best Seller, “Presto!” takes an insightful and very humorous look at his recent weight loss and wellness journey. His previous book, ”God No! Signs You Might Be An Atheist and Other Magic Tales”, spent six weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list.

His weekly podcast, Penn’s Sunday School, was the No. 1 downloaded podcast on iTunes during its debut week and was named by iTunes as Best New Comedy Podcast.

On the big screen, Penn produced the critically lauded 2005 documentary The Aristocrats, which features over 100 of the biggest names in comedy telling their versions

of the dirtiest joke in history. He produced Tim’s Vermeer, which follows the journey of an eccentric inventor determined to solve one of the art world’s oldest mysteries. The Sony Pictures Classics release was nominated for a BAFTA and was shortlisted for the 2014 Oscars. He has recently completed the documentary The Gambler’s Ballad profiling magic legend Johnny Thompson. It premiered on Showtime in early 2018.

As a philanthropist, his efforts have resulted in raising millions of dollars for Las Vegas-based charities AFAN (Aid for AIDS NV) and Opportunity Village. The annual “Penn & Teller’s 13 Bloody Days of Xmas” continues to be the most successful blood drive in the Las Vegas Valley, resulting in an average of 4000 pints donated every holiday season.

Penn & Teller have their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and triumphantly returned to Broadway recently with Penn & Teller On Broadway, which was the highest-grossing non-musical for the entirety of its run.
