Anthony Anderson hosted the 75th Emmy Awards with a special twist involving his mother, Doris Bowman
Doris Bowman, also known as Mama Doris, played the role of the "Emmys ‘play-off mama’," a unique approach to keeping speeches within time limits
Some Emmy viewers found Mama Doris' interruptions during the speeches to be somewhat off-putting, describing them as 'rude'
Doris Bowman used a direct approach, often standing up and interrupting to ensure speeches didn't overrun their allotted time
The act was intended to add a comedic touch to the ceremony, with Doris Bowman tapping her watch and urging winners to speed up their speeches
Jennifer Coolidge, while accepting her award, was one of the celebrities interrupted by Mama Doris, who told her "I love you, baby, but time"
Anthony Anderson joked that his mother's monologue interruption was the only mishap of the Emmy night
Through these appearances and other collaborations with her son, Doris Bowman has gained her own celebrity status
Originally, Doris had aspirations to be an actress, a dream she set aside to raise her son, Anthony Anderson
The Emmy night highlighted not just Anthony Anderson's hosting skills but also the shared love for acting between him and his mother
