Never saw this…what a GREAT gag ever! Melissa has definitely grown as an actress…so glad she continues to do projects with her husband. Now that’s teamwork!
I love how you can tell that Melissa was genuinely surprised to hear her name. She let her guard down a moment and stopped playing for the cameras. She honestly expected one of the others to win, and I love how happy the rest of them were for her when she did.
It’s actually a gag line from a lot of Miss America Pageants. The host at some point usually says “everyone’s a winner”. So I think Rob said that as a joke.
@@jovanolague3161 Yes, Rob's line was a gag to continue the pageant theme, but Ryan Davies was talking about the fact that this whole gag shows that all of the nominees are fantastically funny women to fully go for the joke. And really - it's totally brilliant.
Brilliant! And they say women can't do comedy. Of course, they've said they couldn't do all kinds of things. As it turns out, they can do anything as well, if not better, than the less subtle sex. Bravo.
You can literally see her mouth, "Holy shit", and the hugs that ensued made me cry. I wish everyone supported each other's successes this way. She's so talented!
Thanks for pointing that out! I was actually trying to find out if any of them hadn't won any awards yet (not just Emmys). I am fairly certain this was Melissa's first major award.
Imagine being Melissa in your breakthrough TV role and watch these ladies getting happy for you. Martha was Really funny, then you have Tina and Amy Who were legendary on their shows and if that was not enough, finally you have Edie and Laura, both accomplished drama actresses, with a pack of Emmys, Oscar nominations and Tonys on their behalf. Such a great and iconic moment, Back from where we actually watched TV and not streamed.
I will never tire of watching this. Absolutely hilarious, but also so uplifting. I was doing a little research and I think Melissa was the only one in that group who had never won any TV/film/theater awards prior to this Emmy. That makes this even cooler!
Janet Snakehole Back when a demonstration of female solidarity at an award show was fun and cute and original. Now it’s just a bunch of boring, big-headed, loud-mouthed lemmings screaming “MeToo!” And “Time’sUp”. They took all the fun out of it.
I remember shrieking when they said Melissa’s name. I was so happy she won. (Yeah Plainfield, IL!). I have to say, every single lady on the stage as a true class act.
I really like how Edie Falco and Martha Plimpton and Laura Linney got in on it. Its something you'd expect from Tina and Amy, who do skits and performances a lot, but seeing Martha and Edie and Laura even join in is cool
What an amazing moment in awards! They should do this every time!... Thanks to Amy Poehler!! The audacity and bravery!!! Stand up and applaud her JUST for that!
@@Verminreaper999 Julie Bowen actually won in the category for Supporting Actress in a Comedy that year! Fun trivia: the Modern Family cast all submitted themselves in the supporting actor/actress categories because they felt as an ensemble cast, there were no clear lead actors/actresses. The Friends cast also used that method for the majority of the show’s run until the last few seasons where they all started submitting themselves in the lead actor/actress categories.
Who knew - we really are in another golden age of Hollywood. These are some real f’n comedy queens, and it’s great to see them standing together as peers in their craft.
I believe it was Amy Poehler who came up with the idea as a way to combat a surge in false tabloid stories claiming that women in the industry were fueding and arguing in a warped atttempt to pit them against one another and cause drama. This was her way of showing solidarity and support among women in the industry whilst making a brilliantly executed joke at the same time.
I ADORE Melissa McCarthy, but I have to say that I am shocked Edie Falco didn't sweep the vote. Her performance as Nurse Jackie should have been unbeatable 😲
the gag that sofia vergara has a thick accent is running thin. ANd it just sounds obnoxious when some Americans pay her out for it- she speaks amazing English! Everyone has an accent- and American accent isnt the default accent of the world.. ps love Amy Poehler in this, what a great skit
razmataz13drums oh my goodness YES!! I cannot stand Sofia vergara, there's no way her accent is still that thick after working in English for 10+ years.
@@TheGayceatron lol It happens, I’ve been working in customer service my whole life, I’m Dominican and I also have an accent after all this time. It’s a pretty decent accent but still, you can tell I’m not a North American. Colombians specially have difficulties because of their Spanish accent they already have, It’s not only her. Please don’t judge If you don’t know how hard It is because If we come to this, I’d like to see you trying Spanish without an accent or Spanish at all.🙂
@@TheGayceatron respectfully. My aunt has been in the states for 30+ years. Her accent is very thick. She mostly speaks Spanish when at home and taught all her children to speak Spanish. My mom in the other hand mostly spoke English when she came to the states. Her accent is not thick and most days I don’t notice it. We don’t know Sophia- or how much she might me speaking Spanish when she is not on camera. I would just assume that her accent is very very real.
What is so wonderful about this is, everyone knows the usual routine is you stay in your seats & hide your disappointment with a grin. This way, they were all recognised & loved by their fellow actors, the crowd 'got it' and supported it whole heartedly, & when Melissa's name was called, the other ladies smiles were authentic, they were all in on it & no one was left in the audience, with a camera in their embarrassed face
The best thing is that all 6 actresses nominated that year have at least 1 Emmy Award, as of today: Tina - 9 Edie - 4 Laura - 4 Melissa - 2 Amy - 1 Martha - 1
the standing ovation made my heart swell, girl power af, absolute role models
Ya!! Credit where is so due!!!
Ya!! Credit where credit is so due!!!
women empowerment dude!
White Woman empowerment. Thank God this white privilege is coming to an end
Yea now woman share the stage with men that think they are woman..
This was, by far, the best gag EVER and the look on Melissa's face when her name was called was priceless.
SAME
Melissa is so amazing and gorgeous.
Never saw this…what a GREAT gag ever! Melissa has definitely grown as an actress…so glad she continues to do projects with her husband. Now that’s teamwork!
Not sure what I loved more - the look of shock on Melissa's face, or the looks of genuine joy from her peers who had just lost the award to her.
Sisterhood at its finest!! Love.
this whole bit was Amy's idea - GENIUS!!
Tim Conway from the Carol Burnett show did it back in the 70s best supporting actor Emmys.
@@nyc9993 How interesting! Did he get all his fellow nominees to participate or was he the only one to go up on stage? And did he win?
@@meredithchandler73 they all went up played along think he won that year too.....
@@meredithchandler73 It was Tim Conway, Harvey Korman and Chevy Chase. Chevy won.
She deserves one for Parks and Rec SO BAD!

They don't tell you beforehand?
@@nibreezy4017 not
@@nibreezy4017 They all know they are nominated. They do not know who is going to win until it is announced at the ceremony.
Laura Linney wiping lipstick off her teeth as she stands up is a severely underrated moment
She's awesome!
I thought she was finishing her line at first 😭
@@samanthatodd9127 you might be right 😂
Yeah, i love it too
I loved it!
I really admire Amy’s bravery, i would definitely have chickened out if i was first
This whole bit was her idea.
If she didn't do it, nobody would. Love her.
omg yes. with everyone starring at me like i made a mistake. i assume they informed the presenters and everything but still
She’s the best for/because of things like this!!!
They usually go in alphabetical order but Edie Falco was too nervous to go first so Amy volunteered since it was her idea!
Their Emmy nominations weren't enough, they had to remind the audience that they were all hilarious once more before the winner was announced.

Rebekah Morales May thoughts exactly! And they in particular are all brilliant
Hollywood, Hollywood...big illusion
@@pouetpouetdaddy5 I bet you’re real fun at parties.
Nice 2 know u support colorless nomination.
Everyone was so genuinely happy for her
This is better than the Miss America pageant lol
spoyledbratt
Yessss ❤
i love everything about this!! the humour, the solidarity. the genuine surprise, delight and support from the crowd. the nominees. i'm so happy.
Rob Lowe's reaction was pure Chris Traeger/Leslie Knope that I have ever seen and he rolled with it.
Right?! I miss p&r...
Rob was part of this brilliant moment. Amy included him & he had the crown & the speech.
You can literally see her mouth, "Holy shit", and the hugs that ensued made me cry. I wish everyone supported each other's successes this way. She's so talented!
What a legendary, talented group of actresses… they have all won Emmys now!!
Thanks for pointing that out! I was actually trying to find out if any of them hadn't won any awards yet (not just Emmys). I am fairly certain this was Melissa's first major award.
They have?! Aww that's cute
I just love how authentic all of their reactions were. Favorite Emmy moment ever
I love this so much. The way they all got up on stage and everyone was confused at first but then it all made sense and became an emotional moment.
I laughed when they all stood up but laughed harder when Tina tried to kiss Jack 😂😂
His reaction was hilarious
more like "dont fuckin' touch me" lol
What was that??wierd
"Don't you know that I'M GAY?! GET THOSE LIPS AWAY FROM ME!"
Ja why he did that??😮
All these years later, and this is still my all-time favorite bit from an awards show. Priceless! :D
Agreed!!!!
The fake tears while they hold hands makes it that much better 😂... they should have kept doing this every year
Nearly 10 years later and this is still the best bit of all time
WEll IT IS NOW ABOUT 14 YEARS LATER AND IM HERE WATCHING!. 😅
I love that the fellow nominees were there to hug her the second her name was read. That's beautiful sisterhood!
The way the camera panned to Melissa as if it was a beauty pageant was EVERYTHING.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Other nominees are like, “Are we doing this? We doing this? Goddamn it, we’re doing this.”
lmao fr nurse jackie wanted nothing to do with this
Its planned
@@williamchua7261 Yes. I'm aware.
3:07 "Holy shit." 🤣 She was genuinely surprised!
I love how you can tell they were ALL genuinely happy for her.
"i'm sorry i'm a crier" omg i love her so much
i'm not crying or anything
This is how the Emmys should be. FUN!!! This will always be great!!!
Love to see all nominees to be up on the stage. And the standing ovation gave me goosebumps. I was in tears
Sending love right back smiling is the best way to face every problem, crush every fear, and hide every pain.did you meet the gem in person?
lmao this legit made me cry, love female support and solidarity
Favorite video of Melissa McCarthy! She's my best friend in my head!
Diane Blaylock me too haha

2016 and still loving this! I LOVE that I can read her lips when they announce her as the winner and she says "Holy Shit!" She is the real deal!
I love how excited Edie was to be a part of it.
I remember shrieking when they said Melissa’s name. I was so happy she won. (Yeah Plainfield, IL!). I have to say, every single lady on the stage as a true class act.
When Amy Poehler and Will Arnett were still together :'(
This was equally comedic and empowering and it was so perfect
3:04 her reaction is so genuine, if only she knew what a career would be coming.... I adore her

All awards should be given like this. Such admiration and support of each other.
Six amazingly talented and funny women. I wish they could do something like this at every awards shows. Incredible
I wish all women were like this with each other. Loving and supportive. We need more of this.
They need to do this at award shows all the time
This was one of the sweetest things! Melissa deserved it, too. That woman is FUNNY!
I never get sick of watching this ... i laugh, I get emotional ... I love it
she's always gonna be sookie to me.
They were so into the schtick they forgot that they were still up for an award. Priceless and amazing.
What an amazing moment in awards! They should do this every time!... Thanks to Amy Poehler!! The audacity and bravery!!! Stand up and applaud her JUST for that!
The only one missing from that stage is Julie-Louis Dreyfus!

The last time the Emmys were actually good & actually worth watching 👏❤️
Wow... what a lineup. And the camaraderie is beyond heartwarming 🥰
An Emmy moment for the books. Love all of these ladies❤️
I love this SO MUCH. Women elevating women. Women sticking together and supporting each other's careers and triumphs. LOVE IT.
There's nothing better than Sisterhood 😍
This needs to happen with EVERY awards show! I think more people would watch them if they did!!

Yes, she talked about this in her book
I come very often to see this video. Cheers me up like nothing else could. Masterpiece!
The standing ovation tho. Holy smokes 😭😭😭
The best part of this is every one of her co nominees were there on stage to congratulate her!
This is the cutest bit I've ever seen!!! Amy you're a genius!!!
I ADORE Melissa McCarthy, but I have to say that I am shocked Edie Falco didn't sweep the vote. Her performance as Nurse Jackie should have been unbeatable 😲

So much talent on that stage!
Melissa McCarthy is such a wonderful person. Humble and kind and talented and beautiful!
i rewatch when i need a warm hearted giggle. i love the women supporting women and melissa’s face when she wins always inspires me
I am just in awe with this beautiful display of sisterhood! This is how it’s supposed to be (& brotherhood as well).
They're all fantastic!!! And Martha Plimpton's dress is so sparkly, I love it.
CAN THE OSCARS DO THIS? I would be so happy
It would’ve been epic to see Cate Blanchett, Ana de Armas, Andrea Riseborough, Michelle Williams and winner Michelle Yeoh doing this 😂
She looked so genuinely surprised and took it with such grace & humility.
She is legit one of my favorite celebrities ever. To me she is just perfect and hilarious. I love Melissa McCarthy!
this really felt like Miss Universe awarding. this should’ve been done always.

I definitely watch this at least once a year, love these rare moments of making awards shows fun
the best moment on emmy ever
I laughed and thought it was wonderful that they all went up on stage and supported each other.
