Jennifer Coolidge's Previous Emmy Win and Memorable Speech
Coolidge previously won an Emmy in 2022 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her work in season 1 of The White Lotus.
Her victory was a highlight of the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards broadcast, thanks in part to her revelation that she took a 'lavender bath' right before the ceremony that was causing her to 'swell up' inside her dress.
Producers began to play her off the stage before she finished her speech, but she didn’t hesitate to clap back. 'Wait, hold on. This is a once in a lifetime thing, and I’m full. I’m full,' she said.
Coolidge attempted to continue on with her speech, but producers responded with an arrangement of 'Hit the Road Jack.' Undeterred, Coolidge started dancing before grabbing her Emmy and leaving the stage.
