Add my congrats, please! Like many others, I was expecting Groff or Esparza to take the win, but when they called out Pierce's name, I couldn't have been more excited. And his speech was among the best given that night, so sincere! And because this thread is dedicated to that wonderfully talented man, I have to insert the quote that made me love him even more:
"Jonathan Groff, who has so much talent at a young age that I have to go take a nap."
How could his fellow nominees not forgive him?? Much love to David Hyde Pierce!
"I haven't got a pail."
"Find your grail, your GRAIL!"
"But it's not missing. It's right on the counter where it's supposed to- defying gravity, my giant cup's gone!"
"Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. How do you measure... measure a year?"
"How many times do I have to tell you, it's five hundred twenty-five thousand, five hundred and eighty-five point thirty-two minutes. You will never graduate if you keep basing your math on showtunes."
"You ruin Broadway for me."
"As well I should."
