Rejected E! Red Carpet Fun Facts

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

No live broadcast is complete without a news crawl. While news shows update viewers about world events and important Twitter fights and sporting events give up-to-the minute stats about about other sporting events and notable arrests, award show red carpets find themselves with slightly less pressing matters to report.

Still the crawl must crawl on, so for weeks in advance of the Emmy's, hundreds of copywriters are secluded in a San Bernardino warehouse to prep beautifully inane "fun facts" about nominees and attendees. Sadly, due to the sixteen hour limit on red carpet coverage, not all of the items can be used. Here are some of this year's best unused tidbits:

• Ricky Gervais is a fan of breakfast.

• Fashion Alert: Bob Odenkirk is stunning in Men's Warehouse.
