The 75th Emmy Awards were very special on Monday, not because of who won but because it was a true tribute to television.
Anthony Anderson did a great job as the host and showed us that he is a true fan of television during all the reunions that the producers set up.
He was not the only one enjoying having all of those legends share the stage with him. Niecy Nash, who won her first Emmy, also had a fan girl moment.
The actress tried to remain calm as she met Sally Struthers. Nash told Gloria that she and her wife watch All in the Family every night before they go to sleep. To which Struthers said to her, I hope it makes you laugh.
And Nash told her what really makes her laugh is the way Struthers cried on the show. She added no one cries as comedically as Struthers does. And then they cried together, just like Gloria.
Sometimes, I wonder if actors appreciate those who walked so they could run. And it is nice to see that two of Monday’s newer stars were grateful to the older ones who came to celebrate with them.
I want to thank Nash and Anderson for respecting those who came before them. I just don’t get that vibe from a lot of the other people who won.
I also want to thank Nash for sharing this sweet video because it brought a huge smile to my face, just like Niecy’s acceptance speech!
