Before announcing the winner, he spoke to the crowd about his planned presentation.

“I get to present an award. They said no Jussie Smollett jokes. I know. I know. What a waste of light skin. You know? You know what I could do with that light skin? That curly hair? My career would have out of here. Running Hollywood,” he said.

“What the hell was he thinking? You Jesse from now on. You don’t even get the ‘U’ no more. That ‘U’ was respect…you ain’t getting no respect from me.”

The City of Chicago recently sent a letter to Jussie demanding that he repay the city for the $130,106 “expended on overtime hours in the investigation” of the alleged attack on him back in January.
