John Oliver's Brief Emmy Speech Sparks Attention and Memes
John Oliver kept his Emmy acceptance speech very short to avoid losing money for charity due to a humorous bit involving Nate Bargatze, who was deducting funds from a charity for long speeches. Oliver's quick speech was motivated by a desire to cost Bargatze money, and he discussed the event on Jimmy Kimmel Live, also touching on other Emmy winners and the tone of the awards show.
