[ Applause ]
Hello, friends.
Welcome to our emmys
neighborhood on a beautiful mlk
day.
You know...
[ Applause ]
love television and
tonight we celebrate 75 years of
emmys!
We're going to commemorate the
greatest shows of today while
paying tribute to some of the
iconic series that mean so much
to us.
Simply put, television has
shaped the world and more
importantly, it shaped me.
Now, I have learned a great deal
about life from my mother.
She taught me everything I know,
but I also learned a lot from
the television shows that I
watched growing up.
'd watch in my living room.
t was just me, my TV, my piano
and a small local diverse and
inclusive choir from Compton.
Yeah!
You're probably wondering why I
have the white dude in the
choir.
Fun fact, Kevin costner is from
Compton.
wonder if he was a crip or a
blood.
Who knows...
Alright.
Anyway, from this great
series created by Norman lear
and Eric monte, I learned about
the importance of family, a
dynamite catchphrase and spinoff
money.
No good times, no grownish.
None of that ish.
Choir, hit it!
Keepin' your head above
water making a wave when
you can
lay offs good times easy
credit rip offs good times
scratching
and surviving good times
hanging out and
jiving good times
ain't we lucky we got em
good times

[ Applause ]
All right!
All right.
see you.
Okay.
Hey, Fletcher, you always
invited to the cookout.
Now, TV gave me my first crush.
was watching "facts of life"
when a beautiful girl with
pigtails skated across my TV and
stole my heart.
love you tootie!
But then I realized that tootie
wouldn't really understand me.
needed someone grown and more
refined.
And there she was.
Mrs. Garrett.
Mm-hm.
Now, she could teach me the
facts of life.
[ Laughter ]
You take the good you take
the bad you take them both
and there you have
the facts of life the
facts of life
there's a time you got to go
and show you're growing
now you know about the
facts of life
the facts of life
when the
world never seems to be
living up to your dreams
then suddenly you're
finding out
the facts of life are
all about
you you
[ Applause ]
ng.
Yeah.
Now, mama said if I wanted a
grown, mature woman, I needed to
get cool.
didn't know what she meant
until Miami vice taught me all I
needed was a tan, white friend
and a cool white jacket.
t's crazy to think that Phillip
Michael Thomas coined the phrase
egot.
Dammit, he ain't got one!

I can feel it coming in the
air tonight
oh lord
I been waiting for this moment
for all my life
oh lord
oh lord
yeah!
Give it up for Travis barker!
Hey, Travis, you can play at my
wedding, man.
You missed the first one.
The second one.
All right.
Let's get into it, everybody.
Tonight, is a celebration.
We're honoring the best of best
from actors, writers, directors,
and the shows that kept us glued
to the tube.
Tonight we're giving out 27
awards.
That means 27 acceptance
speeches.
So I'd like to ask you all to
keep those speeches tight.
Now, normally on awards shows we
do what's called "playoff music"
which everyone tends to ignore.
But this year I've got something
that nobody can ignore.
My momma.
Now, tonight, my momma --
[ applause ]
Tonight, my momma, she is
going to be the emmys "playoff
momma."
When you see my momma coming,
just thank Jesus and your family
and wrap it up.
Alright now, that's enough.
don't want nobody to get
disrespectful with my momma,
because my momma is from the
West Side of Chicago and she can
throw hands.
Shut up!
Momma.
want to go to the
afterparty.
Okay, momma.
All right.
You're supposed to be yelling at
the other people, not at me, not
in the middle of the monologue.
Time's up, baby.
Cut to the chase!
See what I mean?
My momma don't play.
You've all been warned.
Our first presenter made her
television debut at the age of
one.
Think about it, while I grew up
watching TV, she grew up on TV.
She's an Emmy winner and a
nominee again tonight.
t is my honor to introduce
Christina applegate.

[ Applause ]
[ Love & marriage ]

love & marriage
love & marriage

carriage

Oh my god, you're totally
shaming me with disability by
standing up.
t's fine.
[ Laughter ]
Body not by ozempic.
Okay, let's go.
Some of you may know me as Kelly
Bundy from "married, with
children," or Samantha from
"Samantha who?," or Jen Harding

[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
Very few of you probably know me
from that debut -- I'm going to
cry, more than I've been crying.
Baby Burt grizell on "days of
our lives."
t was my breakout role.
And for all these years, it's
look at that.

flawed, complex characters like

kid.

this person and myself.

famous, but she's more important
to me than any of you.
'm so sorry.
You're really cool.
Anyway, Carol Burnett.
Carol Burnett forever changed
variety television.
Before Carol, variety was an all
male dominion.
The Jack bennys and red skeltons
and Andy Williams on television
were great but it was Carol who
broke new ground for all the
shows that followed, with
sketches that have withstood the
test of time.
And now please welcome the
legend who blazed a trail for me
and for every woman on
television, 7-time Emmy winner
who brought home her latest Emmy
a week ago for outstanding
variety special.
Here is the legendary Carol
Burnett.

That was a long time ago, and
I just want to say that a lot

for the better.

Being a director requires a
diverse skill set that goes well
beyond the camera.
Perhaps the hardest task a
director has is walking up to an
actor after a take and saying,
"that was dog [ Bleep ].
Like, really, really bad."
Which is why brilliant
directors find other ways to say
it, things like, "that was
great.
But let's get another one for
safety."
Or "let's try one where you
just throw it away.
Just throw it away.
Don't act.
Please don't act."
And my personal favorite
"let's go again exactly the
same, but different."
Here are the nominees for
outstanding directing for a
limited anthology series or
movie.

My character was an orphan who

dame Joan Collins and
Taraji p. Henson.

Throughout the night we have
been revisiting some of the
greatest sets in television
history, but on "dynasty,"
created by Aaron spelling, it
wasn't about the sets, it was
about the drama and the fashion.
Created by Nolan Miller.
"Dynasty" looks just blew me
away.
The cinched waists, the
shoulders out to here, the
jewelry, the gowns.
We left no designer unworn.
And on Lee Daniels' "empire,"
we took up that mantle.

folks up here have struggled
with over the years.
So I'm really grateful and
humbled by everyone who watched
the show and reached out about
their own personal struggles.
t's very life affirming.
So thank you.
feel like we live in a world
designed to kind of keep us
separate.
Even here, some of us go home
with trophies, other people
don't.
think for some of us when we
live in a world like this, you
begin to think there's no way
anyone can ever understand you
or like you or much less no
potential at being loved.
So the greatest joy of working
on "beef" has truly been working
with the folks up here who loved
so unconditionally.
Thank you to them.

Good evening, everybody.
Coleman and I are so very
honored to have been asked to
present the 2023 governor's
award to glaad.
Tonight, I am so proud
standing here as an advocate for
racial equity and the lgbtq
community.
understand the importance of
glaad's mission and its
commitment to representation,
when we represent the
diversity of our society, we
help change the narratives about
a community.
'm proud that this past season
of "Ted lasso" included
storylines that celebrated lgbtq
characters.
[ Applause ]
And, unfortunately, with
anti-lgbtq freedoms being
debated both here and abroad,
the complex characters that we
see and compelling stories that
we tell are an incredibly
important piece of showing the
humanity of who we actually are,
dispelling tropes and offering a
rich, vibrant rainbow of the
human experience.
When we view entertainment as
a form of advocacy, we
understand that we have the
power to create real change.
Over the past four decades,
glaad has consulted on nearly
every TV series and TV movie
making sure the realities we
face off screen are reflected on
screen.

One of the world's most
effective advocates for the
lgbtq community, glaad was
originally founded in 1985 by
ve
vito Russo and activists.
Since then, it has grown into a
global organization.
This now iconic organization is
dedicated to teaming up with
creators to ensure accurate
descriptions of characters,
correcting false and harmful
narratives and working
with the Hollywood community to
increase lgbtq presence on us TV
to its current record high.
For its ongoing work to secure
fair, accurate and diverse
representation of the lgbtq
community in the media and
entertainment industries, the
television academy honors glaad
with the 2023 governors award.

[ Applause ]
Accepting the award on behalf
of glaad is president and ceo of
glaad, Sarah Kate Ellis.
[ "Pose" main theme ]


Thank you.
Thank you so much.
This is actually a historic
moment, and so many people have
worked tirelessly to get lgbtq
representation here, where it is
today.
For all of us at glaad, this
work is personal.
For me, it's about my wife and
our kids, because what the world
sees on TV influences how we
treat each other and the
decisions that we make in our
living rooms, schools, at work
and at the ballot box.
[ Cheers and applause ]
The world urgently needs
culture-changing stories about
transgender people.
[ Applause ]
More people say they have seen a
ghost than know a transgender
person.
When you don't know people, it's
easy to demonize them.
Visibility creates
understanding, and it opens
doors.
t's life saving.
Our community has achieved so
much, and yet we are still being
victimized and villainized with
cruel and harmful lies.
Sharing stories is the antidote,
and now is the time to take
action to support everyone in
the lgbtq community, because
this story is still being told,
and we all can be the heros.
Thank you to the television
academy and the board of
governors.
[ Applause ]

Announcer: Please welcome
Rob reiner and Sally struthers.
["Those were the days" from "all
in the family" ]

Sally and I were part of a
unique television family, not
-- yes.
Thank you.
We were part of a unique family,
not just the bunkers, but Norman
lear's extended family.
Over the decades Norman brought
us together to create
groundbreaking television.
Shows that depicted real people
that made us laugh, made us
think, made us people.
There is a yiddish word that
describes Norman's genius, it's
kochleffel, a ladle that stirs
the pot.
And when Norman the kochleffel
stirred the pot, he wound up
changing American culture.
[ Applause ]
Tonight as we remember all
the legends of our industry we
lost this past year, we
celebrate their lives and
legacy, and all the joy they
brought to us.
And to all the members of all
our television families who have
passed on --
those were the days

To my family, to my mom and dad,
I love you.
Thank you for having a dress-up
box when I was a kid.
This is where it gets you.
Also the biggest thank you is to
someone who won't understand
anything I'm saying at the
moment, but I carried her with
me in this last season and
really it was her who carried
me.
t's very easy to act when
you're pregnant, because you
have hormones raging.
t was the proximity of her life
growing inside me that gave me
the strength to do this and this
performance.
love you so much and it's all
for you from here on out.
Thank you.

around whether he was in it or

This is a show about family,
