“This is a bit of a random shout-out,” Waller-Bridge said during her acceptance speech. “But you have no idea how you can accidentally inspire people just by doing your work and somebody inspired this show in a way that you’ll never know – and that’s J-Lo!” Waller-Bridge said that her selection of J.Lo's song "Jenny from the Block" as the Hot Priest's favorite song "opened the entire character up for me.” J.Lo responded on Twitter: "I’m a huge fan of yours too, #PhoebeWallerBridge!"
