10 out of 10.

The Mary Poppins bit had me in hysterics.

She turned an okay season into a great awards show. Bring her back anytime.

She was pretty great. The only unfunny sketch was the Mario/ACL thing.

Whoopi was 20 out of a 10! I really enjoyed how much her love of Broadway came through each time she was on stage and through all of her funny bits. It would be hilarious if she came back next year and did bits from In The Heights, Passing Strange, and Xanadu..

10/10 Really enjoyable and classy fun. I dont think she needed to be edgy at all! Please bring her back next year.

Agreed about the A Chorus Line bit. So much more could have been done. Maybe Whoopi as Sheila or Val in the opening. Anything that didn't include Mario Lopez would have been better.

Whoopi was fun but Michael Cerveris and Julie White were spectacularly good during the pre-show, very funny and relaxed and efficient!
