Following her appearance at the opening of Gaga’s Workshop in Barney’s New York, Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance at the International Emmy’s, presenting Nigel Lythgoe with the “Honorary International Emmy Founders Award” for his work as executive producer on American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance.
During her appearance, Lady Gaga commented on how Lythgoe was one of the first television producers to give her a chance to appear on national television (Lady Gaga’s first major televised US appearance was on So You Think You Can Dance back in 2008). She also mentioned how he has helped raise over $140 million for charity.
Speaking about Lythgoe in her speech, Gaga commented:
“He has always helped to nurture and foster my ideas, no matter how crazy or demographic-unfriendly they may have been. He always spoke poetically about the pursuit of widening the boundaries of love and acceptance in TV.”
