TheSaturday Night Livealums’ bit seemed to be poking fun at theviral proposalthat went down at the2018 Emmy Awards, where Oscars director Glenn Weiss asked his girlfriend Jan Friedlander Svendsen to marry him during his acceptance speech after winning outstanding directing for a variety special.
Weiss later opened up about his decision to pop the question while speaking to reporters in the press room after his speech. Revealing hedidn’t have a “plan B” proposal if he didn’t win, Weiss said he probably would have “waited until next year” or perhaps done it later that night at “In-N-Out Burger, which is like our staple after award shows.”
“You can’t come in and plan this. It became [a] thought, and the thought picked up steam,” he explained. “That’s how we got here. The timing just lined up very nicely, and it was a really magical moment.”
