At the 2014 Emmys on Monday, The Colbert Report won Outstanding Variety Series for the second year in a row and when host Stephen Colbert took the stage to accept the award, he congratulated his writing staff for winning Outstanding Writing in a Variety Series at the Creative Arts Emmys last Saturday.
"We want to thank everyone who's not on this stage who worked on the show. Our writers won last week for Writing in a Variety Series. I'm so proud of those guys — and one woman," he said, to tepid applause. "Sorry for that, for some reason," he added with a shrug.
Many on Twitter were disappointed by Colbert's nonchalant joke about the gender gap that persists in Hollywood, both behind and in front of the camera.
