The 2010 Emmys, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, began with a hilarious and [star-studded skit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-the-mustaches) parodying Glee and the creation of a show choir.

The skit featured members of all your favorite shows, from John Hamm (Mad Men), Betty White (Hot in Cleveland), the Glee cast, Nina Dobrev (Vampire Diaries), among a slew of others (Kate Gosselin, anyone?). The 2010 Emmys opener was definitely a great way to kick off the show. A little humor and a lot of mockery goes a long way with the diverse members of the TV community.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Virtual Event Openers:** With the rise of virtual events, there is an opportunity to create exciting and engaging skits or performances to kick off the event.
- **Celebrity Cameo Openers:** Incorporating celebrities into the opening skit or performance can add star power and excitement to any event.
- **Parody Openers:** Parodying popular TV shows or movies can create relatable and humorous content that resonates with the audience.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can offer custom skits or performances as part of their services to make virtual or in-person events more engaging.
- **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can collaborate with event planners to create custom content for event openers, featuring celebrities or popular TV shows and movies.
- **Video Production:** Video production companies can create high-quality, comedic videos for event openers that can be used for both virtual and in-person events.
