Overview

  • Hulk Hogan was not included in the televised In Memoriam segment during the 2025 Emmy Awards broadcast.
  • Linda Hogan told Entertainment Weekly she believes his exclusion was tied to his conservative politics and RNC speech in 2024, while noting she cannot prove it.
  • The Television Academy said Hogan is featured in an extended In Memoriam video on its website and attributed broadcast omissions to limited airtime.
  • Multiple other notable names were also absent from the telecast but appear in the online tribute, reflecting a broader set of editorial choices.
  • Hogan, born Terry Bollea, died on July 24 at age 71 of a heart attack, and his TV legacy includes the VH1 reality series Hogan Knows Best alongside film and television roles.
