\n\tSet to a moving musical tribute from Lainey Wilson and Vince Gill, the somber \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d segment of the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards<\/a> on Sunday paid tribute to a host of small-screen stars who have died in the past year. But users on social media were quick to point out the notable names that did not make the montage.<\/p>\n

\n\tWilson and Gill performed the 1994 song \u201cGo Rest High on the Mountain\u201d during the segment that remembered significant TV talent such as Twin Peaks creator David Lynch, The Cosby Show\u2018s Malcolm-Jamal Warner, <\/a>Good Times star John Amos, Downton Abbey\u2018s Maggie Smith, Gossip Girl\u2018s Michele Trachtenberg, Alice\u2018s Linda Lavin, Shogun\u2018s Richard Chamberlain and WKRP in Cincinnati\u2018s Loni Anderson.<\/p>\n

\n\tNotable names missing from the segment were Graham Greene, a prolific First Nations actor with a television career that spanned five decades, who died Sept. 1.<\/a> Greene starred in Northern Exposure, Longmire and most recently The Last of Us, Reservation Dogs and Tulsa King. Also missing was the late Tony Todd, who died Nov. 8<\/a>, who was a regular guest star on TV, appearing in more than two dozen shows and also had a recurring role most recently in The Flash. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnother shocking omission was Lynne Marie Stewart, the veteran actress best known for her work on Pee-wee\u2019s Playhouse and It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, who died in February<\/a>. While Alice lead Linda Lavin, who died in December<\/a>, made the segment, her famed co-star Polly Holliday, the actress who played the spirited waitress Flo on the CBS sitcom and her own spinoff, was missing. Holliday died last week at 88<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tJonathan Joss, the King of the Hill voice actor who was shockingly murdered in June<\/a>, was also missing. Joss, who died after a shooting outside his home in Texas, voiced John Redcorn in King of the Hill and also played Chief Ken Hotate in Parks and Recreation. <\/p>\n

\n\tWWE icon and TV star Hulk Hogan was also missing from the segment. Hogan starred in the \u201990s action TV show Thunder in Paradise and was the star of his own VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Set to a moving musical tribute from Lainey Wilson and Vince Gill, the somber \u201cIn Memoriam\u201d segment of…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":228508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[185,47491,123471,30046,90970,171,593,101794,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-228507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-emmy-awards","10":"tag-emmy-awards-2025","11":"tag-emmys","12":"tag-emmys-2025","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-obituaries","15":"tag-primetime-emmys","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115207896087723176","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
