Jennifer Coolidge made several jokes during her three-minute monologue at the 2025 Emmy Awards.
“I can tell you from experiencing winning this,” Jennifer said ahead of announcing Hacks’ Jean Smart as the recipient of the award. “It's not all it's cracked up to be. It's really not. I had gotten really close with my fellow nominees, especially after I won, but I'm pretty sure they removed me from the group chat.”
She continued, “We were all supposed to go on a trip to Ibiza, and I found out that I wasn't included. And the only reason I knew that was because Elizabeth Debicki and I have the same Ozempic dealer, and you know, at least hers is working.”
