Actress Jennifer Coolidge won her first Emmy Award on Monday night for her performance in HBO’s “The White Lotus,” and while her Emmys speech got off to an emotional start, it soon turned hilarious as she recounted her pre-show bath, forgot her list of names to thank and started getting played off.
“What a night,” Coolidge began before acknowledging those she beat in the Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie category. “I just want to say to my fellow nominees, just to be in your company is incredible.”
And then, the bath.
“I just want to say, I took a lavender bath tonight right before the show, and it made me swell up inside my dress and I’m having a hard time speaking,” Coolidge added followed by a laugh.
