"When Melissa McCarthy came up... the first guest tonight came up on stage and she said she'd stay with us as long as you'd let her, well, you've abused the privilege with me," White said as the audience gave her a standing ovation.

"I cannot, cannot possibly say thank you [enough.] Can you imagine? The People's Choice at 93? I mean, that's ridiculous! Thank you with all my heart."
