John Oliver took home the Emmy for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series on Sunday, continuing his long-running streak for Last Week Tonight. But it wasn’t just the win that caught viewers’ attention. Oliver was bleeped out twice during his brief, 15-second acceptance speech on live television.
While the live broadcast muted parts of Oliver’s speech, social media quickly filled in the gaps.
According to one X (formerly Twitter) user, Oliver jokingly took aim at fellow comedian Nate Bargatze, who was also in attendance.
“F–k you Nate Bargatze, that is a lot of money for you – and you can add a f— to the swear jar as well,” he reportedly said.
