Monday Afternoon Diversion

Earlier today, we told you about the Chicago Emmys that were handed out. Friends of Chicagoist Schadenfreude were nominated for their work with WTTW's IL-Informed (Category #13-a. Outstanding Achievement for Arts/Entertainment Programs – Program or Program Series). But they had a show going on that prevented them from attending the Awards in person so, instead, they shot an "acceptance speech" ahead of time just in case. Ultimately, they didn't win, which only makes it funnier.
