The 44-year-old got a standing ovation as he was given his very first Emmy, and then crawled onto the stage where he appeared to thank his ex-girlfriend of 18 years Jennifer in a humble acceptance speech.

Before giving his gratitude to a woman named 'Jen', Jon said: 'There has been a mistake, clearly. Thank you for that. This is impossible - to be named with all of those extraordinary gentleman, it's impossible to be standing here, up here.'

'And it's incredible and impossible for me personally to be standing here,' he said humbly, 'so I want to thank the people to whom I owe an incredible debt, people who in my life have gotten me here, families who have chosen for some reason to take me in and be nice to me along this strange, strange road.'
