We have some seriously special people on our staff and hearing them go crazy in the office right now is just the medicine this world needs." –Samantha Bee

"'Jane', the National Geographic's documentary film directed by Brett Morgan, is an extraordinary achievement. Many films have been made of my life in Gombe in the 60s and 70s – but this is the only one that takes me right back to my young self. As I watch I am once again immersed in the lives of the chimpanzees I knew so well, and the magic of the rainforest. Now, by what seems a marvelous coincidence, this film has received several nominations for the Emmy Awards during this week – which is just about the time that I first arrived in Gombe Stream National Park in 1960! This Saturday, July 14th, 2018, not only celebrates the anniversary of that never to be forgotten day but will be the very first World Chimpanzee Day as well – a day serving as a global call to action to protect our closest living relatives." –Jane Goodall

I cannot thank you enough for enriching my career and changing our narrative! I am forever indebted and eternally grateful!" –Anthony Anderson

"I'm thrilled that The Fourth Estate was nominated for Outstanding NonFiction Series. The journalists at The New York Times were brave enough to open up to us, knowing they would be under enormous public scrutiny and derision from the bully pulpit. This nomination celebrates that decision and their commitment to transparency.

As if Will & Grace coming back in the first place wasn't enough, to have the chance to play Karen Walker again feels like a miracle to me.

Thanks and kisses to all the Emmy voters. xox 💝" –Megan Mullally
"Thank you to everyone at the Television Academy for this nomination. Thank you to our dedicated team. And an astronomical thank you to our contributors who were brave enough to tell their stories of the vicious and destructive doctrine of the Church of Scientology. To our fellow nominees…we are all motivated, when creating our respective shows, to share stories for the people who felt their stories weren't shared. From VICE-HBO, StarTalk with Neil deGrasse Tyson, David Letterman to Anthony Bourdain we all felt a duty to give light to people from all walks of life. Bourdain once said, "Without… a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive, and moribund." To Anthony and his team, a huge congrats for your well-deserved nomination, to his fans and those who loved him, we send our heartfelt condolences, and may he Rest In Peace." –Leah Remini
