Walking the gauntlet that is an award show red carpet is tough. Preparing an acceptance speech is probably even tougher.

That's why at this years Emmys, we decided to make life a little easier for television's best and brightest by playing a game of "one word story," award show edition. The task: to create a beautiful, thoughtful, inspirational acceptance speech by asking everyone we spoke with to provide just one word.

As you can see by the video, that didn't happen. Instead, we got an absurdist, unintelligible rant about mothers, mommys, moms and Will Forte.

Hey, there's meaning in there somewhere, right?
