LOS ANGELES _ And just like that, the Emmy Awards are interesting again!
While accepting his Emmy for directing for a variety special for his work on "The Oscars" _ his 14th overall _ Glenn Weiss went off script and gave the ceremony its first-ever marriage proposal. (That's assuming you don't count Kit Harington popping the question to Andy Samberg at the 2016 Emmys, which, honestly, we don't.)
"You wonder why I don't like to call you my girlfriend," Weiss said, addressing his girlfriend, Jan Svendsen, from the stage. "It's because I'd like to call you my wife."
The crowd was shocked at the development _ "SNL" star Leslie Jones was slack-jawed _ and as Svendsen made her way to the stage, Weiss joked, "I didn't ask yet!"
"This is the ring that my dad put on my mom's finger 67 years ago," Weiss declared to his soon-to-be fiancee. "And to my brothers and sisters, I didn't swipe it. Dad knows I have it."
