Many TV fans have taken to social media to share their feelings on this years In Memoriam, with many expressing how much they miss the featured stars that passed away over the last year.

“These segments always make me sad, but this year’s seems particularly awful. Such a group of wonderful, talented people,” one fan commented. “A heartbreaking and beautiful tribute.”

Worst thing about In Memoriam segment at the #Emmys, is the fresh sorrow at remembering all the amazing people we lost this past year, from Rose Marie to David Ogden Stiers and Robert Guillaume. So sad.

“I had to tape the 2nd half of the #Emmys so I’m just catching up. Between the proposal & the in memoriam, I’m a basket case,” another person quipped. “Life is beautiful & short. It’s ugly & long. We should spend it with people we love. & Also idk wtf I’m saying anymore hand me a tissue already godd—it.”

Not everyone was quite as captivated by the moment, however, as some found themselves distracted by the inclusion of Sen. McCain.

I didn’t understand the inclusion of #JohnMcCain in the “in memoriam” segment at the #Emmys. He wasn’t an entertainer or was he? Did he ever have anything to do with TV outside of being a politician?

As it turns out, though, McCain’s inclusion is not too much of a stretch, as he did have a small number of acting credits throughout the years, which includes scenes on Parks & Recreation and 24.
