Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 68th Emmy Awards Sunday night with some jokes that were a hit and others that were a little shocking.

Take for example, his Bill Cosby joke that surprised a few people—Tina Fey included.

"Ladies and gentleman, four time Emmy award winner—Dr. Bill Cosby!," the announcer said as music began swelling.
