The talk show host also shared her experience of driving to the studio in the early hours of the day. She mentioned encountering a deer on the road, surprised that there was any traffic at that time of the day. Ellen joked about being able to drive as fast as she wanted without having to wear a shirt, as long as she could show her Emmy if she got pulled over.
Ellen then introduced Bruce, the man who keeps the show on time during the Emmys. Bruce explained the “back timer” process, which helps them monitor the show’s timing. Ellen humorously expressed concern when realizing they were already behind schedule.

Felicity expressed her surprise and gratitude, sharing that she never expected to win. She mentioned how she and her husband Bill Macy went to a party after the awards ceremony but couldn’t get in due to overcrowding.
Megan Mullally, Emmy Award winner and star of Will and Grace, joined Ellen on stage next. They discussed Megan’s foot injury, which resulted in her wearing a plaster cast. Megan mentioned injuring herself while dancing at home and expressed her intention to visit the doctor later that day. Despite the injury, she still attended the Emmys and had a blast with her husband, who pushed her around in a wheelchair.
Ellen praised Megan’s performance with Donald Trump during the awards ceremony, where they did a skit based on the show Green Acres. They also shared a funny moment discussing William Shatner’s reaction when Megan won. Megan appreciated the support and mentioned that she voted for Felicity to win as well.
During the show, Ellen also showcased footage of audience helper Erica Jones on the red carpet before the Emmys. Erica had a blast interacting with celebrities and handed out fun gifts like cheese and fans.
