During the awards show, Applegate presented the first award: Best Supporting Actress in a comedy series, won by "The Bear" actress Ayo Edebiri.

Applegate stepped on stage with a cane and then took the offered arm of host Anthony Anderson. The two walked forward to "Love and Marriage," the opening theme song of "Married… with Children" and were greeted with a standing ovation by the audience.

"Thank you so much. Oh my god, you're totally shaming me with disability by standing up. It's fine," Applegate joked at the mic as she received a standing ovation. "Body not by Ozempic," she added.

Applegate revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, or MS, a disease of the central nervous system. According to the National Institutes of Health, women tend to develop MS more than men and there is currently no cure for the condition but there are treatments that may reduce relapse severity and disability progression.

Siriano also shared a behind-the-scenes video clip of Applegate modeling his creation. "Oh Christina you are divine and I will dress you any day of the week! What a woman. #christinaapplegate #emmys," the designer wrote in the accompanying caption.
