Hollywood’s elite are usually known for their charitable contributions … but, Sunday night they took a whole lot more than they gave — ’cause they bankrupted a $100K pot meant for charity!

Here’s the deal … in the lead-up to the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards host Nate Bargatzetold multiple outlets he had a way to keep the show on track in terms of time.

His plan was simple … he was putting up $100K for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America– and, each time an Emmy winner went up to give a speech, they had a chance to add to the total.

For each second they were under the 45-second limit, he’d add $1,000 to the total. For each second they went over, he’d take $1,000 away.

The night started off strong … Seth Rogen gave a 39-second speech — so the pot started at $106K — but, then it all clearly went off the track.
