Emmys: Ryan O’Neal, Ray Stevenson Omitted From In Memoriam Segment

The In Memoriam segment of the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday paid a moving tribute to several television stars, creators and producers who have died over the last year — but social media was quick to point out the omissions.

Users on X, formerly Twitter, were upset that missing from the video montage of the In Memoriam segment were Ryan O’Neal and Ray Stevenson. O’Neal, who died Dec. 8 at age 82, had television credits stretching back to the 1960s, and he had notable roles on the soap Peyton Place and the sitcom Good Sports and also had a run on Bones.

Stevenson, who died May 23 at age 58, was most recently seen in the Disney+ Star Wars series Ahsoka, and worked consistently in television since the 1990s. His notable television credits include Vikings, Dexter and Rome.

Also missing from the video montage was Kevin Turen, a producer on HBO’s Euphoria and The Idol, who died Nov. 12 at age 44, chat show host Jerry Springer, who died April 27 at 79, and Night Court star Richard Moll, who died Oct. 26 at 80. However, all the missing people are included in the In Memoriam section of the Emmys website.

The telecast of the In Memoriam section was introduced by Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers, who paid an extended tribute to TV icon, and six-time Emmy winner, Norman Lear, who died Dec. 5 at age 101. Following the tribute to Lear, singer Charlie Puth and the musical duo The War and Treaty sang Puth’s hit “See You Again” while the video montage of those who had passed was played. Included in the video were Andre Braugher, Angela Lansbury, Barbara Walters, Angus Cloud, Lance Reddick, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens and more.

Midway through the tribute, Puth and The War and Treaty transitioned to Friends theme song “I’ll Be There for You” in a special tribute to Matthew Perry.
