1. > “In particular, I want to thank the silly odd dog,” Oliver said. “We have the most fantastic dog, and she was at our wedding and she got us through the pandemic. She was with us for two pregnancies…”

   > Oliver then got cut off by the orchestral music, to which he responded: “Perfect choice of music.” He then continued: “We had to say goodbye to her. I feel like Sarah McLaughlin right now. She was an amazing dog.”

   > As the music continued to swell to encourage Oliver to get off the stage, he playfully shouted: “Fuck you! There you go.”

   > **“This isn’t just for her. This is for all dogs,” he continued as the audience clapped. “All dogs, you are all very good girls. You are very good boys. You all deserve a treat. Play me off now! Thanks so much.”**

2. He knew the time limit. If he wanted you to add a dog story to his speech, he should have properly timed the dog story.

   Nobody was pissing on his dog, they were moving him along because there’s a show to do.

3. What a good person. Him and Stewart are my favorite people named John.

4. We want to see the video. No read the words.

5. I cannot wait for Ricky Gervais to comment.

6. Guy has no talent.

7. I can’t honour time so I just say FU and everyone will laugh coz I’m a funny guy.

8. Lost our pupper in January and am still an emotional wreck about it. I watched the Emmys but missed this somehow, but I’m kinda glad—I would have bawled my eyes out. Sending all the doggies out there some love and scratchies

9. I fully support this speech.
