John Oliver Drops F-Bomb While Honoring Deceased Dog at Emmys

John Oliver’s Emmy acceptance speech took a hilarious, expletive-filled twist when, after thanking his family, he made sure to honor another beloved member—his dog.

After a heartfelt tribute, recalling how his dog was there through his wedding, two pregnancies, and the pandemic, the awards show began playing sad orchestral music, prompting Oliver to crack a joke about feeling like Sarah McLachlan.

He ended his speech with a playful “F— you” to the show for the music, turning it into a tribute not just to his dog, but to all the good boys and girls everywhere.
