It's a tough ask to pull off a props-reliant gag live onstage while presenting the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. And at the 76th Emmy Awards on Sunday, before announcing Hacks as the winner, Catherine O'Hara achieved perfection.

The Schitt's Creek and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star was introduced onstage by way of a perfect Schitt's Creek reunion of Emmys hosts Dan and Eugene Levy alongside their co-star Annie Murphy. Taking the mic, O'Hara seemed like she was playing it safe with the presentation. But as she was about to announce the winner, O'Hara quite literally ripped up the envelope.

Watch the moment in the video above to see a truly flawless Emmys gag.
