Watch Nathan Fielder Investigate How Hackers Might Hack the Emmys, if They Wanted To

Here is a hot-off-the-presses new video from Nathan Fielder, creator and star of Comedy Central’s Nathan For You. Clocking in at a brisk 13 minutes, the short investigates a simple, eponymous question: Can the Emmys be hacked? Fielder enlists Danish security expert Carsten Schürmann, who has previously demonstrated the vulnerability of American election technology, to demonstrate how hypothetical hackers might hypothetically hack the Emmys’ voting system to swing Nathan For You some nominations and/or wins.

Turns out, those hypothetical hackers might have a pretty easy time of it. As Schürmann shows, not only is it fairly simple to set up a dummy voting website and phish Emmy voters’ login credentials, but it’s even possible—nay, straightforward—to replicate the actual Emmys voting page’s two-factor authentication system. What Schürmann ultimately concludes, with a deadpan that gives Fielder’s a run for its money, is that “It is extremely unlikely that you can have 100% trust in the outcome of the vote.” Unless, of course, Nathan For You takes home the win—then you know it was an honest tally.
