Nate Bargatze is hosting the Emmy’s. He has pledged to donate $100k to the Boy’s and Girls Club. If an acceptance speech goes over 45 seconds, he’s taking $1000 dollars away from the donation. Every second an acceptance speech goes under 45 seconds, he’s pledged to add an unannounced sum to the total.
He’s also suggested that if you want to go over, you should donate to the Boy’s and Girl’s club to make up for the amount you are talking away from them.
25-30 awards are given out. So at worst, Boy’s and Girl’s Club gets $70-75k and a ton of free publicity. At best…who knows?
This whole thing seems genius to me
