Melissa McCarthy was part of one of the most memorable moments of this year's Emmys, the beauty pageant sketch that broke out when the nominees for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy all rushed the stage. McCarthy told 'Early' (9AM ET on CBS) that she thought her work was done after the bit, and was so shocked after winning that she completely blacked out.

"I thought the bit worked, this was great, let's get back to our seats," McCarthy explained, before realizing that she had won. Her priceless, surprised reaction was memorable for viewers, but not for her. She said the moment was was so surreal that she has no memory of her speech. "I had to re-watch it because I didn't remember a word I said."

The 'Mike & Molly' and 'Bridesmaids' star remains charmingly baffled by her recent run of success. "I don't know what's happening, but I like it," she joked.
