Quotes Of The Week: Big Brother, Boys, Amber Ruffin Show, Emmys And More
Autumn is officially upon us — and with it, slowly but surely (and strangely, in 2020), comes fall television.
Though the fourth week of September is usually a little busier for your DVRs than this one was, we've still got 10 memorable gems to revisit in our latest Quotes of the Week compilation.
This time around, we've got Jason Bateman's attempt to dethrone Paul Rudd as Hollywood's Most Ageless Celebrity, a Ted Lasso character who would fit right in on Sesame Street, two noteworthy punchlines from The Amber Ruffin Show's first outing and the best Big Brother eviction speech of the summer — thus far, at least.
Also featured in this week's roundup: sound bites from The Haves and the Have Nots and The Boys, plus an Emmys joke from host Jimmy Kimmel that was scandalous in every sense of the word.
Scroll through the list below to see all of our picks for the week, then hit the comments and tell us if we missed any of your faves!

BIG BROTHER (Bonus Quote!)
"Twenty-one seasons of winners and not one of those faces looked like mine. So when I walked through those doors, I had that desire, that determination to be that very first face to give hope to those behind me who have the desire to come in here and play this game. Not seeing a face that looks like mine is very discouraging, it's hurtful and it does make me feel like maybe it's impossible. But I'm wrong about that because it's definitively possible. We can do it. It just hasn't been done yet... I want to acknowledge every African American who has walked through those doors with the same desire to be that face that I have. I see you, I salute you and I appreciate you. You came in here, you knew the odds were against you, you knew it was going to be an uphill battle and you still fought and you fought like hell. For that, I love you, I admire you and I acknowledge you all today."
