The Canine Tribute: A Heartfelt Moment at the Emmys

USAMonday, September 16, 2024

John Oliver's Emmy win for best scripted variety series was a moment of triumph, but it was his tribute to his late dog that stole the show. As the comedian took the stage, he couldn't help but choke up while thanking his furry friend.

"First and foremost, I want to thank our silly, odd dog," Oliver began. But before he could continue, the orchestra music cut him off, playing him off the stage. Oliver responded with a witty remark, "Perfect choice of music." The music continued to play, growing louder, and Oliver shouted, "F**k you! This isn't just for her. This is for all dogs. All dogs, you are all very good girls. You are very good boys. You all deserve a treat. Play me off now! Thanks so much."
