Anthony Anderson’s Mother Hilariously Scolds Him Throughout Emmys Monologue

The 2023 Emmys began off with a bang.

Host Anthony Anderson took the stage on the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles at first of the Jan. 15 award ceremony, poking enjoyable of his childhood crushes on The Info of Life characters as a part of his opening speech. Nonetheless, it was the comic’s mother Doris Hancox who stole the present, standing up from the group to heckle Anthony to “hurry up” along with his monologue.

“Shut up!” she instructed the Black-ish star. “I wanna go to the after-parties.”

And when Anthony identified how she was imagined to function the Emmys’ “play-off mama”—serving to inform winners to “wrap it up” when their acceptance speeches go over the allotted time—Doris had probably the most mother response.

“Time’s up, child,” she hilariously snarked. “Wrap it up.”

Although this was Anderson’s first time emceeing the star-studded affair, he is no stranger to TV’s largest night time. In spite of everything, the comic has 11 Emmy nominations below his belt, together with seven Excellent Lead Actor in a Comedy Collection nods for his portrayal of Andre “Dre” Johnson in Black-ish.
