The Emmys are always prime time for some near-to-the-knuckle comedy moments, and Jennifer Coolidge is the latest to weigh in with an Ozempic gag.
Everyone's favourite blonde bombshell comedian was speaking at the awards ceremony, when she decided to make a joke at her own expense - and someone else's.
Jennifer was on stage, preparing to present Hacks star Jean Smart with the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series when she made the quip.
The White Lotus star had previously won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama back in 2023, and she joked: “I can tell you from experiencing winning this, it's not all it's cracked up to be."

She continued: "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 didn't stop there though.
"We were all supposed to go on a trip to Ibiza, and I found out that I wasn't included,” Jennifer joked.
“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," she added. "But now that I think about it, winning the Emmy, I think it might have been the worst thing that's ever happened to me."
Debicki took home an Emmy last year for her role as Princess Diana in The Crown, although she wasn't in attendance at the Emmys ceremony despite being in LA filming The Adventures of Cliff Booth alongside Brad Pitt.
Many celebrities have confessed to using Ozempic and Mounjaro in recent months, including Meghan Trainor, Amy Schumer, Scott Disick, and more.
Fans are still waiting for confirmation that Jennifer will return for another Legally Blonde film as the scene-stealing Paulette Parcelle.
Screenwriter Mindy Kaling told TIME earlier this year: "I don't have any power here. It's an MGM, Amazon, and Hello Sunshine thing. Dan Goor and I wrote a draft that we really like. We hope it sees the light of day.
"At least with TV, I have slightly more power," she added. "But with this one, we'll see what happens, I'm always low-key working on it. It's, like, writing fan-fic except it's the actual three-quel."
She praised Jennifer, explaining that 'since the time we started this project, she has had this renaissance with The White Lotus'.
"If you put Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge in a movie right now, I don't know a single person who wouldn't run to the theaters to see it, and they're already the two stars of Legally Blonde? That's fantastic."
Fans will have to wait and see.
