Watch 'The Good Place' Creator Accept a Nebula Award in the Most Hilarious Way Possible
Michael Schur’s acceptance speech for ‘The Good Place’ series finale… goes to some places.
Mike Schur, creator of The Good Place, recently (and rightfully) won the Ray Bradbury Nebula Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation in recognition of the show’s series finale. Accepting the award alongside his visual effects “guru,” David Niednagel, Schur seems humble at first. Or well, humbled enough to say that he deserved the recognition over Niednagel and the rest of the cast and crew.
In Schur’s hilarious way, his speech praises himself for his work on The Good Place and downplaying everyone else’s talent and hard work. While Schur goes on to thank the cast, including Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto, and D’Arcy Carden, he also makes it clear that he was giving them “gold” week after week to work with and that’s why the show was so good.
And so, as Schur begins to take full credit for the show, Niednagel shows him his power, using his visual effects to “clown” Schur. (At one point, literally.) No matter what Schur says, clearly Niednagel is the winner here.
