Jennifer Coolidge thanks

Jennifer Coolidge's 'evil gays' Emmy Awards speech has become an instant meme

During the recent Emmy Awards, actress Jennifer Coolidge won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Tanya McQuoid in the hit show The White Lotus. Known for her comedic roles, Coolidge delivered a hilarious and memorable acceptance speech that left fans cheering.

In her speech, Coolidge expressed her gratitude to Mike White, the show's creator, for giving her the opportunity to play the incredible character of Tanya McQuoid. She playfully referenced McQuoid's storyline from season two of the show, set in Sicily, where her character found herself befriended by a group of 'evil gays' - a nod to the show's plot.

The audience erupted in laughter and applause as Coolidge thanked 'all the evil gays,' making a clever reference to the memorable moments and lines from The White Lotus. Fans of the show were delighted by the inclusion of this inside joke, as it reminded them of McQuoid's journey and her ultimate demise in season two.

Even though her character's story arc has come to an end, Coolidge's comedic delivery and her acknowledgment of 'the evil gays' brought a sense of lightheartedness to the moment. Social media buzzed with admiration and praise for the actress, with fans describing the reference as 'iconic' and expressing their love and appreciation for Coolidge.

Coolidge's humorous acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards showcased her natural comedic talent and left a lasting impression on viewers. However, due to her speech running over the allotted time, she was hurried off the stage before she could finish her heartfelt message. Nonetheless, she managed to leave the audience with some inspiring words, urging them not to give up on their dreams.

The combination of humor and gratitude in Coolidge's acceptance speech made it a memorable moment from the Emmy Awards. As fans continue to laud her performance and enjoy her comedic timing, it is no wonder that Jennifer Coolidge has become a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
