Sep 21, 2015 - Andy Samberg just gave out a free HBO account at the Emmys. Third cousin's HBO password because they're 'in the business of creating addicts. Samberg's account is for HBO Now (not HBO GO), so it doesn't require you.

'It’s not that we’re unmindful of it, it just has no impact on the business,” he said. Samberg's account is for HBO Now (not HBO GO), so it doesn't require you to enter a television provider.
But HBO Now also hands out free seven-day trials to new users, so this could've been some kind of HBO-Emmys cross promotion to get people hooked in.

HBO has not yet responded to Mashable's request for comment on Samberg's account. Thanks, Andy! Now stop watching the Emmys, and go stream all of Veep until your heart's content — or until this account crashes. I got a max device error.
