During the 2024 Emmys, John Oliver was surprised when he was interrupted by playoff music while delivering a heartfelt speech about his deceased dog. The producers, who later expressed regret, were unaware of the dog's passing at the time.
Oliver humorously navigated the awkward moment, initially mixing up his son's name, before sharing touching memories of his dog that supported him through significant life events, highlighting their long-standing companionship.
As the playoff music crescendoed, Oliver remarked, "Perfect choice of music. We had to say goodbye to her," humorously cursing the producers and evoking the sentiment associated with the ASPCA's famous commercials.
Oliver concluded his emotional tribute by stating, "This isn't just for her - this is for all dogs. You're all very good girls. You're very good boys. You all deserve a treat," reinforcing the love for all pets.
