For example, Doris interrupted Jennifer Coolidge’s acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for The White Lotus. (Last year, she won the statuette for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.)
“I have to put this [Emmy] down,” Coolidge said. “I still don’t have the strength.”
At one point, Doris chimed in to cue Coolidge to wrap up. Although it provided comedic relief, it caused Coolidge to get flustered and forget what she was saying. As a result, the speech took even longer as the actress attempted to finish her statement.
We appreciate Doris’s dedication, but all things considered, maybe next year the Television Academy should stick with music.
