Emmy Awards | In Memoriam | Broadcast

The challenge: How do you honor industry legends who passed during the year in a way that feels meaningful rather than just sad? For the Emmy Awards In Memoriam segment, I focused on celebrating their contributions and impact rather than dwelling on loss. The piece was presented live by Tina Fey to over 10 million NBC viewers, with millions more watching online. The segment became one of the broadcast's most widely discussed moments, covered by major media outlets including The Hollywood Reporter, New York Times, USA Today, Variety, People, Deadline, Entertainment Weekly, CBS News, Vox, Vanity Fair, LA Times, BBC, and Forbes.
