It was just one of many moments during Sunday's ceremony that toyed with viewers. 

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel cut up and ate the name of the winner of outstanding actor in a comedy series category, joking he could give it to anyone before announcing the winner as Jeffrey Tambor.

And Samberg gave out a functioning password to HBO's streaming service, HBO Now, allowing viewers to catch up on some pay TV that they might not have seen.
