- Oh my god! The 6 years that I spent working on this show have been the best 6 years of my entire life, and I'm so, so, proud of the cast, and the crew, and the writers, and I can't believe that Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara are my friends. I'm so proud to be a part of a show that's about love, kindness, inclusively, and acceptance because those are 4 things that we need more than ever right now. And hi to my family and friends and I love you so, so, much and this is really, really wild. Thank you so, so, much! -Emmy Awards Acceptance speech
