Known for her role in the American Pie film series, Jennifer Coolidge lived up to her reputation as a comedic highlight at the 2025 Emmy Awards. While presenting the award for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, she delivered a characteristically rambling and hilarious speech. A Minecraft Movie star recalled her saying:
“We were all supposed to go on a trip to Ibiza, and I found out that I wasn't included. And the only reason I knew that was because Elizabeth Debicki and I have the same Ozempic dealer, and you know, at least hers is working.”
The actress is celebrated for her iconic comedic roles, often playing quirky and memorable characters. She became a pop culture phenomenon as the seductive "Stifler's Mom" in the American Pie series and as the lovable manicurist Paulette in Legally Blonde. Her collaborations with director Christopher Guest in films like Best in Show further solidified her status as a beloved comedic actress.
Jennifer Coolidge’s quick-witted Ozempic one-liner lights up the Emmys stage
At the 2025 Emmy Awards, Jennifer Coolidge delivered a long yet incredibly hilarious speech that quickly went viral. She began by humorously complaining that she was not a nominee herself, saying she had hoped to be acknowledged for a hypothetical role on the show The Pitt.
She described this role as a "horny grandmother having a colonoscopy during a power outage," a line that drew huge laughs from the audience. She then offered some satirical advice to the nominees, stating from her own experience that "winning, it's not all it's cracked up to be." The White Lotus star added:
“It's not all it's cracked up to be. It's really not. I had gotten really close with my fellow nominees especially after I won but I'm pretty sure they removed me from the group chat.”
Jennifer Coolidge became a comedy legend with her iconic performances in film series like American Pie (1999-2012) and Legally Blonde (2001-2003). Her early work showcased her unique character style and improvisational skills, notably in her memorable roles in Christopher Guest's mockumentaries.
Though she has long been celebrated, Coolidge experienced a major comeback with her role as Tanya McQuoid in HBO's The White Lotus, for which she earned two consecutive Emmy Awards. Her more recent screen appearances include Riff Raff (2024) and A Minecraft Movie (2025).
