( CNN ) -- The Emmy Awards will never be confused for the MTV Video Music Awards -- especially when they air on consecutive nights . It 's status quo versus cutting-edge cool . Even when Hollywood lets its hair down , it 's on the tame side . Still , host Seth Meyers did his best to liven up the proceedings . And the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards that aired Monday night did offer up some memorable moments . 1 . Seth and Billy 's crazy quiz . Meyers teamed up with `` Billy on the Street star '' Billy Eichner to dash around the streets of New York and bombard pedestrians with random pop culture questions . During a frenetic five minutes , the twosome tackled Emmy snubs , challenged people to name an Emmy nominee and generally terrorized unsuspecting New Yorkers . Then there 's the collection they took up for the cast of the `` Big Bang Theory . '' `` Why is the Emmys not just @ billyeichner doing that for three hours ? '' tweeted actress Anna Kendrick . 2 . 'Weird Al '' s plot parody parade . Remember when TV theme songs meant something ? `` The Brady Bunch . '' `` Gilligan 's Island . '' You got a catchy tune and the plot , all in 30 seconds . Nobody does that anymore . Nobody , except `` Weird Al '' Yankovic , who skewered everything from `` Mad Men '' to `` Game of Thrones '' in a medley with choice lines like , `` Jon Hamm 's never won an Emmy/ Oh who cares ? He 's still Jon freaking Hamm . '' 3 . Gwen 's 'Adele Dazeem ' moment . Remember when John Travolta , for some inexplicable reason , mangled Idina Menzel 's name as 'Adele Dazeem ' ? Gwen Stefani had one of those while presenting the Emmy for Outstanding Variety/Music/Comedy Series to `` The Colbert Report . '' Or , as she put it , `` The Colbort Report . '' Fortunately , Maroon 5 's Adam Levine was there to quickly correct her . 4 . Crystal 's fond remembrance . Your heart had to break for Billy Crystal , the sometimes Oscar host who delivered a heartfelt tribute to his buddy , Robin Williams . `` It is very hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in our lives , '' he said of the actor , who was found dead of an apparent suicide earlier this month . Crystal spoke fondly , touchingly for nearly five minutes . The night before , the VMAs paused to remember Williams ... for a mere 23 seconds . 5 . Bryan breaking bad with the Veep . The gag that paid off big time last night was when `` Breaking Bad '' star Bryan Cranston planted a long , wet one on Julia Louis-Dreyfus as she headed to the stage to accept her Emmy award . When the stars were presenting an earlier award , they had a running gag that Louis-Dreyfus could n't remember that Cranston was a guest star on `` Seinfeld , '' and that the pair even made out on camera . Not to be brushed aside , Cranston blocked her as she walked toward the stage to accept her trophy for best actress in a comedy series for `` Veep . '' He swept Louis-Dreyfus into a passionate embrace until Jimmy Fallon forced them to separate . `` Yeah , yeah , he was on 'Seinfeld , ' '' she quipped , while the camera panned to Cranston wiping the lipstick off his lips . CNN 's Saeed Ahmed and Dorrine Mendoza contributed to this report .
