Ernie Johnson has always been a class act and is being commended for his wonderful gesture on Tuesday night.
Johnson, a TV host for Turner Sports and CBS Sports, won the Sports Emmy for Best Studio Host. Johnson then brought the daughters of the late Stuart Scott on stage with him and presented them with the award.
“This belongs with Stuart Scott,” Johnson said as he gave away the award, according to ESPN’s Holly Rowe.
Scott died in January after battling cancer for nearly eight years. He was 49 years old.
Scott was also honored by “SportsCenter” anchors of past and present, who gathered on stage to recognize his legacy.
