Tony Awards To Have 5 Second Delay. Seriously?

This seems kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Well on second thought Audra does get kind of raunchy with all her political mumbo jumbo and Donna Murphy might decide to flash a teet in protest of the FCC's new regulations.

And you just never know what will come out of the mouth of those puppets!


CBS is more than a little gun shy. Might as well accept that as a reality.

Isn't a five second delay standard on live television? If it was five minutes, that would be another thing, but I think they have used the five second delay since before most of us can remember.

Anyone posting from the ceremony must then post SPOILERS in all thread titles, in case someone is reading inside that 5 second window.

lol. No, I just find it odd for some reason they would have a delay for the Tony's. And no, they don't delay everything, sports especially where you can always hear cursing from people.

God forbid we have to endure the site of two men kissing passionately on national television. Oh had they only had that delay last year we would have been spared the agony that is Marc and Scott!

They are worried that when Marissa is presenting an award that Matt Morrison is gonna cause a wardrobe malfunction. Mistress is covering as a security guard that evening, just in case.

If Mistress is guarding and Matt is gonna be there, I think we'd better get a replacement guard, and someone to take over anything Matt has to do.

Or we could just lock all the broom closets before they come.
