Yannis Pappas is a touring stand-up comedian, podcaster, and television host with multiple specials, popular podcasts, and diverse hosting credits.
So when his latest and most formal gig began with a sketch - harkening back to his most renowned small-screen success to date: the "Washington's Dream" sketch on "SNL" - there was reason to believe he'd be able to walk the fine line between sincerely honoring artistic accomplishments and poking fun at those being honored (and, presumably, himself). It's the host's eternal struggle, after all: combining the ceremony's three main genres - comedy, drama, and limited series - into one fun, moving, and snappy show.
