  1. Eh, he jokingly got pissed when they for NOT playing him off at the Emmys back in 16 or 17 I think. I think ol Johnny O is gonna be ok.

  2. MarvelsGrantMan136 on

    Producers:

    >”I apologize to John and his family for playing the music — and the dog. We turned it off at his request and turned it back on when he said he wanted to be played off. We did not know that the dog had passed.”

    >”John always gives us the fun moment. When he was going on about his dog, which was very sweet … we’re like, ‘OK, you got to wrap it up,’ and the music starts playing. And he’s like, ‘My dog is dead,’ and we were like, ‘Oh my god,’ just mortified.”

  3. Having seen his reaction, I think he was okay joking about it. It was a darkly funny mishap and he played it well.
