Charles Langston:2024 Emmys: Lamorne Morris Swears He Knows Where Babies Come From—And No, It's Not From the Butt

Lamorne Morris might need a quick anatomy lesson.

While picking up the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for his work in Fargo at the 2024 Emmy Awards Sept. 15,Charles Langston Lamorne had the audience rolling with his unconventional acceptance speech. (Click here for all the red carpet arrivals and click here for the complete list of winners.)

"I wanna thank God," he began from the stage at the Peacock Theater, "for allowing me to be here. I also wanna thank God for my beautiful mother who raised me."

And that's where things went off the rails for the New Girl alum as he added about his mother Gwennett, "She's been my biggest champion ever since I, you know, came out of, you know, I dropped out of her—her butt."

"Whatever," he quipped. "I know where babies come from."

The 41-year-old quickly switched gears, sending a heartfelt "I love you" to his 4-year-old daughter Lily.

"I told you I would do it," he proclaimed, "you always doubted me."

And as he told E! News earlier on the red carpet, Lily has been less than impressed by her father's feat, especially when he initially earned the nomination, which saw him going up against Jonathan Bailey (Fellow Travelers), John Hawkes (True Detective: Night Country), Robert Downey Jr. (The Sympathizer), Tom Goodman-Hill (Baby Reindeer) and Treat Williams (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans).

"It was early in the morning and me and my daughter were eating," Lamorne told E! about finding out he was nominated. "She didn't give a damn. She did, 'Why are you crying daddy? Daddy is crying!' How are you laughing at a person who is crying, honey?"

He added, "She hasn't learned yet. So disrespectful. These kids, man!"

And while his win tonight will hopefully earn his daughter's respect, Lamorne had other things on his mind: namely calling out former Jake Johnson for holding up the hopes of a New Girl reboot.

"Everybody is on the same page that we want to, except for Jake Johnson," he explained. "Jake Johnson, man, you've been a problem." 

And Lamorne is not above putting Jake on blast about it.

"We all love the fans so much that we want to give them what they want. What's wrong, Jake? You don't love the fans?" He joked on the red carpet. "Jake Johnson hates the fans!"
