she wasn't THAT amazing...
I completely forgot that she was hosting it and except for the POPPINS bit, the other little inserts were so obnoxious.

The Clarence Thomas (un) reference was one of my favorite parts of the show! I also give her 20 out of 10 :p

Posted: 6/16/08 at 2:17amI guess I'm in the minority because I found her obnoxious. 1/10.

I wasn't THAT impressed by Julie White/Michael Cerveris.
However, I loved Whoopi!

Posted: 6/16/08 at 2:40amI find her kind of stale...Whoopi just isn't edgy anymore. And she should fire her stylist. Why did she look like a Harlequin clown in that frilly white silk shirt?

I'd give her a 1. She is stale. The person or persons who dressed her should be fired. Except for Whoopi and Liza, everyone else looked great. I guess the one thing in her favor is that she isn't Rosie.
At one time, the Tony Awards was the only award show with class; not anymore.

I thought she was the best in years. Hopefully we'll see her next year. I adored the sentiment with which she closed the show. Heartfelt words said with grace, appreciation, and class. Way to go Whoopi!

They need to sign her for next year. I loved when she was summarizing the best new plays(a house full of white people, he drinks cause he is irish), the mary poppins skit was hilarious as was the Phantom of the Opera
Julie White and Michael Cerveris were good too. I loved the line at the end about if you have a cell phone please turn it off if you have a beeper you need to get a cell phone cause people are starting to talk

I loved the line where she said she was higher than the mama from Osage County.
Brilliant. I loved it.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 9:52amI was there last night and though Whoopi did a brilliant job hosting. The bits from Mermaid, Mary Poppins, A Chorus Line, Spring Awakening, Phantom, Spamalot, etc were all hilarious. The best thing about her is that there was NOTHING she would not do. It is clear that she loves the theater and it was a joy to see her up on that stage. I watched it back on TV when I got home and this was, by far, the best Tony Awards broadcast that I can remember (I've been watching since 1995). I hope she comes back next year to host. 10/10!

I did not think she was funny, and I was very much let down by this Tony's.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 10:23amOh my god, I want to shoot myself. This is a bad dream. Seriously everyone else liked her? I repeatedly apologized to my boyfriend that we both had to sit through her tired schticks. She just wasn't funny to me.

Posted: 6/16/08 at 10:59amShe was great. Moreover, the entire show was far more entertaining and was an excellent promotion for Broadway.
