Hannah Gadsby has made her Emmys debut with a performance that has viewers calling for the Australian comedian to host next year’s awards ceremony.
Gadsby, who became a worldwide phenomenon when her groundbreaking show Nanette was released on Netflix, took to the stage to deliver a skit which many are deeming the best part of the night.
“The world’s gone a bit crazy,” she started. “For somebody like me, a nobody from nowhere, gets a sweet gig – free suit, new boots – just ’cause I don’t like men.”

“That’s a joke, of course. Just jokes fellas, calm down,” Gadsby continued with a cheeky smile, before making the audience burst into laughter by saying, “#NotAllMen… ButALotOfThem.”
