Conservative TV Icon Chuck Norris Blacklisted by Emmy In Memoriam Segment
by John Nolte
Despite having more success on TV than almost every person in that room, the hateful and bigoted Emmys still snubbed The Mighty Chuck Norris.
Every year, just like the annual Academy Awards broadcast, the Emmys pay tribute to those in the television industry who died during the previous year. And now, just like the modern-day Oscars, the Emmys use this segment as a political weapon to enforce fealty to its leftist ideology. You either think and express the correct thoughts, or you are snubbed during the In Memoriam segment. Then…
After the show, the useless, far-left trades compile a list of those snubbed. Here’s this year’s list, per Variety:
Despite a tribute to “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” earlier in the show, in which it was mentioned that it had been a “tough two years,” Nicholas Brendon‘s name was not included on the screen. This year, fans also called out names like “Walker Texas Ranger” star Chuck Norris, “Days of Our Lives” and “Starship Troopers” actor Patrick Muldoon, “The Gong Show” panelist Jaye P. Morgan, “The Ring” actress Daveigh Chase and “30 Rock” performer Grizz Chapman as not being recognized during the Emmys’ official In Memoriam segment.
As you can see, in its not-so-subtle way, the far-left Variety is deliberately snubbing and downplaying Chuck Norris by piling him in the middle of a bunch of television names that do not even come close to the star power, fame, public adulation, and success on television that Norris enjoyed.
Let me tell you about Walker: Texas Ranger…
The show ran for nine seasons (1993–2001) on CBS and became a Saturday-night staple. Although it is well known that fewer people watch TV on Saturday nights compared to other nights, Walker still managed to attract somewhere between 10 and 20 million viewers over those nine seasons and ranked as high as 18 in the overall ratings.
From there, those 203 episodes still live on today in syndication on both cable and streaming.
The show’s cultural impact 25 years after its cancellation can be found in countless online memes, shows like The Family Guy, and a CW reboot that ran from 2021 to 2024.
Walker: Texas Ranger has mattered in the culture for nearly 35 years and for one reason: Chuck Norris.
That’s the man the Emmys snubbed.
