Hargitay, Dale Dickey, Sepideh Moafi & Our Emmy 2026 Recap (Patreon Peek)
Folks, we're breaking down the Emmys 2026: the good, the bad, the reaction shots. We're going for it all. This year's show was hosted by Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay who brought out the ol' vaudeville complete with MULTIPLE musical numbers and sketch comedy with her pal Taylor Swift. It was a ride. It's a thankless gig so we appreciate Mariska being game for it and bringing the energy and vocals. If you want to hear her belting during "Brotherhood of Man" opposite a CGI'd Kathy Bates you can watch it HERE. Other highlights included: Nicole Kidman bringing real moviestar gravitas, the wild reaction shots and god bless Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman knowing how to land a bit. We were particularly touched to see former guests of this show: Dale Dickey and Sepideh Moafi in the room. Dale just seems SO HAPPY to be there and it's so moving to see her (and Jeff Hiller) working the room and gettin the nominations and the love. Sepideh is killing it on The Pitt and she looked absolutely STUNNING at the show. Did you watch? What were the hits? What were the misses?

We are with our pal Alison Leiby whose new memoir of essays I'm A Lot: Surviving Myself and All the People I've Been just came out this summer. Buy it here! Alison is our old pal from our comedy days, and we were so excited to catch up with Alison to talk about ALL the things she covers in her book: her days as an aquatic jock, her near-death surgery, her abortion, and her critically acclaimed solo show about her abortion. But because it's us, we also had to talk about the Real Housewives, American Girl dolls, chiropractors, birth order, and so much more. Get into it and read or listen to Alison's book now so we can unpack it!

Keiko Agena
You Might Know Her From Gilmore Girls, Better Call Saul, Prodigal Son, The First, Shameless, Hair Show, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, 13 Reasons Why, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Keiko gave us all the scoop on playing Lane on Gilmore Girls, how she REALLY felt about where her character ended up, and if she thinks there's more story to tell in Stars Hollow. Plus, improvising with Mo'Nique and Taraji, shadowing Frances McDormand as she finessed Michael Bay, and transitioning to authority figure roles when you're so iconically a "teen" on screen. Keiko was so kind and warm and maybe made Anne and Damian think about improvisation in an ideally way? We loved it!
