If your first reaction to the TV schedule is abject panic at just how much there is, fear not! 2015 Emmy host Andy Samberg feels the same way.

He opened the show with an energetic music number about the sheer volume of television that exists right now (aka “Peak TV”). As Samberg got more and more overwhelmed, he just decided to hide away in an underground bunker to get through every TV show. When he came out, he ran into Mad Men and Scandal stars Jon Hamm and Kerry Washington, who were less than enthused about speaking to a bearded, wild-eyed TV evangelist.

Celebrities: they’re just like us.
