John Oliver thanked all the usual suspects during his acceptance speech for Last Week Tonight‘s win at the 76th Emmy Awards, before turning his attention to a family member that doesn’t get thanked nearly enough.
“I also want to thank — and this is going to be very silly — our dog. We had the most fantastic dog and she was at our wedding, and she got us through a pandemic, she was with us for the two pregnancies,” says Oliver, just as the infamous music starts to play that aims to cut speeches short.
“Perfect choice of music…we had to say goodbye to her,” Oliver continues, pausing to say a quick “f*** you” to ABC. “She was an amazing dog, and this isn’t just for her, this is for all dogs. All dogs, you’re all very good girls and very good boys, you all deserve a treat. Play me off now!”
