Tracee Ellis Ross took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a comedy or musical television series at Sunday’s ceremony, becoming the first black woman to do so since Debbie Allen won in 1983.
While leaving the event, Barris admitted that he was in disbelief that Ross took home the award.
The 44-year-old actress was honored for her role in the second season of ABC’s black-ish and dedicated her acceptance speech to all women of color.
Earlier in the week, Allen, who took home the 1983 award for her role in Fame, congratulated both Insecure star Issa Rae and Ross for receiving their nominations.
