In Jenifer Lewis’ acceptance speech she had his to say about being placed amongst the stars:
“I’m glad I didn’t get this before now because I wouldn’t feel as deserving,” “You know somebody said to me once, ‘You’ve never worked a day in your life,’ and I was like, ‘Whaaaat?’ But they were right, I’ve never worked, I have played in my life and showed up. I’m an entertainer, that’s what I am. People who call me an actress, they can call me whatever they want but what I am is an entertainer above all.”
Congratulations Jenifer Lewis on an honor well deserved and a continual job well done.
