Underneath, she kept it simple with a black top, letting her long silver pendant necklace add a touch of shine. She finished the look with her straight blonde hair styled neatly with a side part and kept her makeup minimal.

"He's an extraordinary talent," Kudrow said of O'Brien as she began her introduction, before adding, "And there's no joke coming because I mean it."
In addition to the TV personality, other honorees included actors Viola Davis and Henry Winkler, composer Mike Post, director and series creator Ryan Murphy, and late producer Don Mischer, who passed away earlier this year in April.
O'Brien was joined by his wife of more than 20 years, Liza Powel O'Brien. He and Kudrow first met in an improv class in 1986 and reportedly began dating shortly after. Their relationship lasted between 1988 and 1993, after which they decided to remain friends.
