Charlie Sheen Presents Emmy—What Did He Say About Two and a Half Men?

Charlie Sheen came, he saw, and he took the high road. And that was about it. No jokes, no asides, no nothing but earnest (on the surface, anyway) words of support for his former Two and a Half Men colleagues—many of whom, including Jon Cryer and cocreator Chuck Lorre, were in the audience tonight.

So, what did Sheen have to say before presenting the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy to Jim Parsons, who, ironically, stars on the Lorre-created Big Bang Theory? "Thank you, good evening," Sheen said, pausing to take in the applause (which may have seemed bigger because he paused, expectantly), including from Cryer, whom the cameras caught enthusiastically clapping.
"Thank you," he continued. "Before I present Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, my old category, I want to take a moment to get something off my chest and say a few words to everybody here from Two and a Half Men. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. We spent eight wonderful years together and I know you will continue to make great television. Now, on to the Emmy."
And that, friends, is how you cover your butt and start paving the way for your return to network TV.  However, by the way, Sheen's former bosses weren't too happy about his Emmy night appearance, which wasn't very gracious of them. A guy's got to make a living.
