N. Ellen, a friend and co-worker of Don Adams shares this story about the night he won his third Emmy Award.

When Don received (think was 3rd) his emmy for GS he went back to table and all were applauding and he was standing and waving at everyone....he had put emmy down on table at his place....his wife, Dorothy, kept pulling at him to sit down!!! Finally, he did..but still looking around the room and waving and when he sat down..the prongs of the wings of the emmy went into the underside of his jaw!!!! Blood!!! what a mess...but you know...he really is Maxwell Smart!!!
