As I watched John Oliver accept the Emmy for “Last Week Tonight,” I was struck by the deep emotion and sincerity in his voice as he paid tribute to his late dog. It was a poignant moment that underscored the profound impact our pets can have on our lives.
In a surprising twist at the Emmys, John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight” on HBO won the award for outstanding scripted variety series instead of “Saturday Night Live.” During his heartfelt acceptance speech, things took an emotional turn as he began to pay tribute to their recently departed pet dog, which caused the music to start playing him off mid-speech.
Specifically, I’d like to express my gratitude to our peculiar, yet wonderful dog,” Oliver stated. “She is an extraordinary pet and played significant roles in our life events, including being present at our wedding and helping us navigate through the pandemic. She was with us during both of our pregnancies…
After being interrupted by the symphonic tune, Oliver remarked: “Excellent song selection.” Further, he added: “It’s time for us to part ways with her. At this moment, I am reminded of Sarah McLaughlin, such a wonderful canine companion she was.
As the music built up to prompt Oliver to exit the stage, he jokingly called out: “You got it right! Here you go.
He went on to say, “It’s not only for her; it’s for every dog.” As the crowd applauded, he added, “You’re all wonderful ladies, and gentlemen too. Each one of you deserves a reward. Please play an ending now! Thank you very much.
EMMYS RED CARPET FASHION: SEE THE BEST LOOKS
The eleventh season of “Last Week Tonight” hosted by Oliver is currently airing on HBO. This series commenced in 2014 and has amassed a grand total of 30 Emmy awards since then. Prior to his latest Emmy win, Oliver shared with EbMaster during the Emmys red carpet that he won’t miss crafting jokes about Donald Trump for the show if he loses against Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
If Trump doesn’t emerge victorious, I have no qualms about discarding things that I’m not particularly fond of. The notion that he’s been beneficial for comedy – it’s not a blessing any of us eagerly sought and we’re ready to exchange it for store credit in the future.
Oliver cautioned that the upcoming election is likely to be extremely tight, with a strong possibility that if Trump loses, he may refuse to accept the result. This close outcome, he added, makes the situation even more absurd. The process is expected to be rocky, and there are valid reasons for concern. If you’re not worried, then you might not have been paying attention.
