Emmys Producer on Why Jerry Springer Was Left Out of the In Memoriam Segment (Exclusive)

Emmys producer Jesse Collins said the In Memoriam segment is 'one of the hardest parts of the show.'

And as the Emmys memorialized the likes of Norman Lear, Angela Lansbury, Bob Barker, Barbara Walters and Andre Braugher, among others, one particularly moving tribute honored Friends star Matthew Perry, who died at his home on Oct. 28, 2023, at age 54. Perry was a five-time Emmy nominee, and enjoyed an acclaimed television career that left an indelible mark on the entertainment landscape. Among those omitted included Springer, Ryan O'Neal, Tom Wilkinson, Raquel Welch, Julian Sands, Al Brown and Charles Kimbrough, among others.
