Conan O’Brien may have stolen the show at Sunday night’s Emmy awards despite only getting on stage once. This year, the late night host’s shining moment came during an off-stage moment, when he trolled Frank Scherma, chairman and CEO of the Television Academy.
As Scherma took the stage to introduce and present the winner of this year’s Governor’s Award, O’Brien made sure to give him a passionate standing ovation. He applauded longer than anyone in the room — in fact prompting a second round of applause for Scherma — screamed as loud as he possibly could, and proudly saluted the man.
