As a long-time fan of Lamorne Morris, seeing him win his first Emmy for “True Detective: Night Country” was nothing short of exhilarating! His comedic timing and charm have always been a delight to watch, but it’s his raw talent that truly shines in this dramatic role.

I, a humble gamer and an aspiring actor, am thrilled to share that I’ve just bagged the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series! This recognition is for my role in “True Detective: Night Country”. Believe it or not, I outshone my fellow co-star, John Hawkes, to claim this prestigious award. Incredibly, this is my very first Emmy nomination and win! You might remember me from my comedic stint on “New Girl”, but this time, I’m stepping into a more dramatic realm. What a journey it’s been!

Upon receiving the award for his outstanding portrayal of Deputy Witt Farr, Morris was taken aback by this significant achievement. “Wow! Incredible!” he exclaimed. He commenced his acceptance speech by expressing gratitude towards God for permitting him to be present at the event.

In a speech characterized by humor, Morris, famed for his comedic performances, incorporated laughter. “I’d like to express gratitude to God for my stunning mother who nurtured me,” he joked. “She’s been my most devoted supporter since… well, you know, I made an appearance…you understand, I skipped the traditional route and entered the world prematurely. I may not be a biologist, but I do know where humans come from!

In the excitement, I couldn’t help but acknowledge my precious daughter, Lily, with a shoutout. “I adore you,” I said, keeping up a light-hearted tone. “As promised, I’ve finally managed it. You’ve always had your doubts, haven’t you?” I jested. “But here I am, leading the way.

Beyond expressing his gratitude to “FX,” his “stunning cast,” and his management group 360, the actor also acknowledged his fellow nominees, mentioning he has Robert Downey Jr.’s poster hanging in his home, asking for it to be signed. As the music started playing to signal his departure from the stage, Morris promised to talk more about this on his New Girl podcast The Mess Around and express his appreciation to the rest of the team.
