This is, Oh God, I’m going to cry in front of Carol Burnett, fantastic,” Edelman said as he took the stage to receive his award. “I made this with my great collaborator Adam Brace, who passed away right before we started on Broadway and this huge group of people rushed in to fill that void.” RELATED: Evening Before Emmy Parties 2024 Photo Gallery: WME, UTA, SAG-AFTRA & More Celebrate In Style Edelman thanked the people who helped with his special, including his crew, producers, and HBO, who “let us make a special that we really wanted to make.
” “This is really, really beautiful,” he continued. “I really miss Adam but it was the end of a seven-year journey with the show, but I got to make something really funny with my friends.” RELATED: Emmy Parties 2024 Photo Gallery: UTA, SAG-AFTRA & Gersh Celebrate In Style.
