-- Jon Hamm cannot contain himself after finally winning his first Emmy, for best actor in a drama series, for his portrayal of seductive, mysterious 1960s ad man Don Draper on "Mad Men."

-- Host Andy Samberg, the star of Fox's sitcom "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," kicking off the 67th Emmys with a combination of the funny and the controversial.
