Dax Shepard was physically absent from the SAG Awards which his wife Kristen Bell hosted, but he was there in spirit with her.
The 51-year-old actor explained that the reason behind his skipping the show again after 2025, was because he had an appointment for a colonoscopy the same day as the award show.
The Armchair Expert podcast host still sent his best wishes through social media as he wrote a note ahead of the show, “CAUTION: DO NOT watch if you’re allergic to effortless charm, tasty wit, velvety vocals, world-class mimicry, high-in-tight buns, timeless beauty or Disney-level Adorability,” along with an image of Bell. “Also it may be ‘too much’ for those with heart conditions,” he wrote, adding, “For everyone else, buckle the f-k up!” Shepard also shared photographic proof of his prescheduled medical commitment, with a screenshot of a text message from someone called Edward.
“Clear liquids today until 8am Monday Morning. Then water only until 10am Monday. Then nothing by mouth; arrival 11:15. Copy?” read the message which he captioned, “#colonoscopyprep.”
Shepard responded to the message with a joke that he was currently “eating a steak smothered in seeds and nuts.” As for the Nobody Wants This star, she carried the show on Sunday, March 1.
