Dolly Parton’s Risqué SAG Awards Joke Resurfaces
Dolly Parton has once again endeared herself to internet users with her signature wit in a resurfaced clip.
In the video, the “9 to 5” singer joked about avoiding the SAG Awards while presenting an honor to Lily Tomlin, saying she would not hesitate to undergo a procedure if she noticed anything “sagging.”
Parton died on August 25 at the age of 80 following a private battle with cancer.
Dolly Parton brought the jokes in an unearthed clip making the rounds online.
The “Jolene” singer was tapped to present the Life Achievement Award to Lily Tomlin at the 2017 SAG Awards. However, after taking the stage, she made a funny remark that left the star-studded crowd giggling.
“Greetings from Dollywood, Hollywood. I almost didn’t get in. Seriously, I didn’t. They were holding me backstage, kept wanting to see my I.D.’s,” she began, per E! News. “Well, I think they wanted to see I.D.’s, maybe double D’s.”
She added, “Well, I’m glad to get that off my chest.”
Dolly Parton Joked About Avoiding The SAG Awards
According to the news outlet, Parton was supposed to present alongside her close friend Jane Fonda, but the latter was sick at the time.
However, Parton managed just fine, leaving everyone laughing with her self-deprecating humor as she joked about spending much of her life trying to avoid the SAG Awards.
She cheekily noted that if she saw anything “sagging” on her, she would immediately call her doctor to fix it, nodding to cosmetic procedures.
“I’m really so glad to be here tonight because this is the SAG Awards, the highest honor you can get. It’s going to be given to my 9-to-5 buddy, Miss Lily Tomlin,” she continued. “I might say Lily is getting an award for something I’ve spent my whole life trying to avoid: a SAG award. I see something sagging, I’m calling Dr. Markowitz to say get that nipped, tucked, and stuffed right away.”
Fans Remember Dolly Parton’s Warmth And Humor
Several fans couldn’t contain their laughter, with many taking to social media to remember Parton for her relatable, easygoing personality.
“Dolly was the most amazing human,” a Reddit user wrote, while another added, “What an icon!! She spread so much warmth and love and joy!”
Someone else wrote, “I’m so happy she’s at rest, but I miss her so damn much already. I don’t even believe in heaven, but I hope she’s there with Carl.”
“An honest woman! Love it! Own your choices, ladies. Nothing wrong with any of them,” a different commenter added.
Dolly Parton Did Not Want Fans To Worry
Parton died in Nashville last month after privately battling cancer. At the time, reports were rife that her health had declined in the months following the death of her longtime husband, Carl Dean, whom she had cared for during his own health challenges.
News of her death left many fans shocked, as they had been completely unaware of her health struggles. However, her sister Stella revealed during a recent appearance on CBS Mornings that Parton chose to keep her condition private because she did not want anyone to worry about her.
“She did not want people sad,” Stella told the program’s co-host Gayle King in an exclusive interview. “She’d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love.”

Stella added that even some members of their extended family never learned about the late country singer’s condition, saying only “some of us knew, the ones of us that were closer.”
“Dolly could not bear negative things,” she continued. “And she would not have wanted her fans worried about it.”
Meanwhile, Stella recently took to social media to call out the barrage of AI slop about her late older sister that has flooded the internet since her death.
“There is a tremendous amount of AI and endless garbage being posted every day, and it’s been challenging to absorb and/or ignore,” she wrote.
She noted that some people were taking advantage of the situation and spreading misinformation online. Stella called on them to stop and show “more compassion and wisdom” as the late singer’s family continues to mourn.
