Christina Applegate Receives Standing Ovation at 2023 Emmy Awards Amid MS Battle

The actress, who was nominated for her performance on 'Dead to Me,' teared up after taking the stage.

On Monday, the Dead to Me actress was the first presenter for the 75th annual ceremony and was overcome with emotion by the crowd's raucous cheering as the theme song from Married With Children played over her entrance. Applegate -- who began in the entertainment industry as a baby -- used a cane to walk out amid her MS battle and thanked the crowd before using her signature biting wit to tell the audience to pipe down so they could stay on schedule. That awards show came shortly thereafter, and Applegate stepped out wearing a long, velvet tuxedo-inspired gown, which she paired with a black-and-white cane with the hashtag "FU MS" written at the bottom.
