Celebrity actors emmys JD Vance
Candice Bergen subtly took down JD Vance in her delightfully catty Emmys speech
The Emmys presentation night has just happened, and it was as star-studded and glamorous as ever.
The big winners of the night included The Bear, Shōgun and Baby Reindeer, with hosts Eugene and Dan Levy providing comedically awkward links.
As ever, there were some highly entertaining speeches, including this one – loaded with sarcasm – from the star of Murphy Brown, Candice Bergen, before presenting the award for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series.
She managed to savage JD Vance in a subtly devastating way.

“Today a Republican candidate for vice president would never attack a woman for having kids. So, as they say, my work here is done. Meow.”
Her comments went down as well online as they had in the room.

Someone had a theory.
I watched Golden Girls, Designing Women, and Murphy Brown with my aunts and mother. There aren't shows like that anymore and that's probably why this generation of men are so weird about women https://t.co/CSA0mGYsuB

We’re not sure it’s just this generation of men.
