In his acceptance speech, Santino Fontana gave honor to his grandmother, who like Dorothy Michaels of Tootsie, is red-headed.

He said, “My grandmother, who passed away awhile ago, was a fiery, red-headed woman. Every day I get to bring her into the room, and it has been the best experience of my life.”
