The actress then pulled up a piece of paper and thanked her producers and her team. “I love you,” she said. As she went through the list, the play-off music began. “Wait, hold on, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and I’m full,” she said, asking for some extra time.
The actress continued to read her list of thank yous, but then the music changed, this time with “Hit the Road Jack” in the background. Knowing her speech was over at that point, she started dancing, accepted her reward and walked offstage.
