The Nokia Theater hosted the 19th annual excellence in sports performance yearly awards show and it began with some laughs at the expense of the Dodgers.
"The proceeds from tonight's show go to a very worthy charity: the Los Angeles Dodgers of America," host Seth Meyers said. "The Dodgers are so broke, three of their players tested positive for ramen noodles."
