John Mulaney Quotes DJ Khaled at Emmys, Gets Bleeped Out While Giving Advice About Being a Man’s Man

"But these nominees know that that is BS,” John Mulaney said. “They know there's often less pressure on them if they do that first”

John Mulaney delivered a lengthy monologue before announcing the Best Male Actor in a Drama Series award at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. His joke about men finally receiving recognition in Hollywood prompted laughter from the audience, but the specific part of the joke that caused the network to bleep the broadcast was not included in the final airing.

The comedian also brought out a book by Frank Vincent and read an excerpt, further emphasizing his point about men's due. The crowd was clearly entertained by his long-winded speech, with many hiding behind their partners in the audience. The 2026 Emmys, hosted by Mariska Hargitay, aired on September 14th.
