In the run-up to the Emmy nominations being announced, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel are doing everything they can to get their shows nominated — including releasing a slew of attack ads against each other.

In the Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip above the two late night show hosts take turns presenting an escalating series of ads, slamming the character of their rival before getting various family members involved to further denigrate them — there's Meyers' brother Josh ("Jimmy Kimmel: More of a brother to me than my own") and Kimmel's wife Molly ("Seth Meyers drinks his coffee black, just like Jimmy's soul"), before a final video in which all their children band together to slam both of them at the same time.

More of this on the Emmy campaign trail, please.
