Emmys In Memoriam Omits Chuck Norris and Buffy’s Nicholas Brendon
The Emmy Awards’ televised In Memoriam segment skipped several recently deceased figures—including Chuck Norris, Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Nicholas Brendon, Patrick Muldoon, Daveigh Chase, Jaye P. Morgan, and voice actors Peter Cullen and Tom Kane—while others like Dolly Parton, Rob Reiner and Catherine O’Hara were remembered. Brendon was alluded to by Buffy co-stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz during another moment. The TV Academy notes a fuller roster online and audience reaction to the omissions was relatively muted this year.
