The segment, which honours the entertainers and TV creators who passed away over the past year, was introduced by \u201cBlack-ish\u201d actor Anthony Anderson, before John Legend played his new song \u201cPieces\u201d at the piano while a montage broadcast on the screens around him.<\/p>\n
Anderson said: \u201cIt never feels like the right time to say goodbye to a loved one, a friend or a cherished icon. To quote Shakespeare, \u2018All the world\u2019s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances and one man, in his time, plays many parts\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we acknowledge the legends within our industry who have passed on, we celebrate all that they created and shared with the world. May they all rest in peace and power.\u201d<\/p>\n
TV legend White, who died in December aged 99, was the first person in the video montage, while \u201cStar Trek2\u201d star Nichelle Nichols, \u201dThe Little Mermaid\u201c voice actress Pat Carroll, and comedians Bob Saget and Gilbert Gottfried were also among those honoured.<\/p>\n
Hollywood veterans including Paul Sorvino, David Warner, James Caan, Philip Baker Hall, Ray Liotta, Robert Morse, William Hurt and Louie Anderson also featured in the tribute.<\/p>\n
\u201cFull House\u201d star Bob\u2019s widow, Kelly Rizzo, admitted her \u201cheart broke all over again\u201d as she watched the touching tribute to her late husband, who died in January aged 65.<\/p>\n
She wrote on her Instagram Story: \u201cI\u2019ve been a wreck all day waiting for this. My heart broke all over again. But I know he\u2019d be proud for this recognition. This is still all so damn weird and surreal.\u201d<\/p>\n
