John Hamm And Amy Poehler Host Emmy Losers Party, Are Awesome


Emmy award winners had to donate $1000 to charity and leave their stature-denoting statuettes in the cloakroom if they wanted to get past the funniest door bitch around, Amy Poehler, at the Post-Emmy Losers Party she co-threw with the bearded Jon Hamm.

E! Online reports that the Losers Party, held at Los Angeles nightspot Soho House, boasted a celebri-licious guest list including Tina Fey, Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza, Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann, Bill Hader, Zooey Deschanel and Jimmy Kimmel, and the event raised over $30,000 for the World Wide Orphans charity, thanks to winners and non-winners alike dropping stacks on stacks on stacks.

Hamm and Poehler have been passed over 20 times between them in seven different categories at the Emmys, and the idea for the official unofficial Losers Party stemmed from an impromptu “Losers Do” at Kristin Wiig‘s hotel room after the 2012 Emmys. Hamm told E! Online “We were like, ‘That was a really fun party. We should do that again, but we should do it bigger and better and invite our friends who aren’t going to win either and we’ll have a good time with it.”

“We figured that the winners get celebrated enough so we thought it was about time that the losers get celebrated”.

Being a loser can be degrading…
