Emmys Producers Are Sorry for Playing John Oliver Off During Dead Dog Speech
Producers for Sunday night’s Emmys are sorry for playing their traditional “wrap it up” music during John Oliver’s unconventional acceptance speech.
In his monologue, the comedian got his son Hudson’s name wrong and paid homage to a deceased family pet.
“We have the most fantastic dog. She was at our wedding and she got us through the pandemic, she was with us for two pregnancies,” Oliver said before music began to cut him short. “Perfect choice of music,” the Last Week Tonight said of the somber tune that made him “feel like Sarah McLachlan.”
