âIn particular, I want to thank the silly odd dog,â John said. âWe have the most fantastic dog, and she was at our wedding, and she got us through the pandemic. She was with us for two pregnanciesâ¦â
As often happens with winners who share an anecdote or express gratitude to many people, John was eventually cut off by the infamous orchestra music.
The British host thanked his family and HBO for “not canceling us over the last decade”

âPerfect choice of music,â he responded before continuing. âWe had to say goodbye to her. I feel like Sarah McLaughlin right now. She was an amazing dog.â
The music played on, but John still had more to say.
âF**k you! There you go,â the British comedian shouted, pointing at the music director.
