How the Emmy award got its name
Why do they call the Emmy Award “Emmy”?
“It’s a feminization of ‘Immy,’ which is short for the image orthicon tube,” explains John Leverence, senior vice president of awards for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The image orthicon, which revolutionized TV, was originally built to guide flying explosive weapons in World War II. “The objective was the guided torpedo, but it ended up being used in television,” said RCA engineer Paul Wymer. The 4,000 “Emmys,” as engineers fondly called the devices, didn’t win the war, because the weapons they were used in weren’t quite reliable, but the orthicon later made TV feasible. It was called “the atomic bomb of television.”
After Syd Cassyd founded the Academy in 1946, he wanted to call its TV award the Ike, short for iconoscope tube (the image orthicon’s predecessor gizmo). Inconveniently, war hero and president-to-be Dwight Eisenhower was nicknamed Ike. So engineering exec Henry Lubcke, the third Academy president, changed the statue’s sex, and the Immy became the Emmy.
