What did Jeremy Allen White say to get censored at the Emmys? Explained

Jeremy Allen White won big at the Emmys 2024 with an award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. He was lauded for his performance as Carmy in the comedy show The Bear.

White's acceptance speech, however, ended up turning many fans' head. During the live broadcast of the ceremony, a portion of the actor's speech was censored before release. It made many fans wonder what he could have said after all.

The actor said "Jesus Christ," in the middle of his speech. Many of the audiences have questioned whether the harmless exclamation merited a censor silence from the Emmys. Apart from that, the actor mainly thanked his co-stars and the showrunners for their roles in his life by saying:

"Thank you, my beautiful cast. I love you forever. I love to work with you, and I want us to be in each other’s lives forever. I love you so dearly ... This show has changed my life. It has instilled a faith that change is possible, if you are able to reach out, you are really, truly, never actually alone."
