Emmy Awards

The Emmys came and went this week, but all the stars were still itching to have a good time after the fact ... so they hit the town en masse and did exactly that, with proof in the pics.

Just about every big-time TV star who was at Monday's award show went out to an after-party once the curtain came down -- and between 3 different shindigs that were going on ... there was certainly no shortage of raging to be had, with different options on the table.

For starters, you had Netflix's get-together ... which was a who's-who of A-listers. Just a handful of celebs who showed face at this thing -- Dave Chappelle, Pedro Pascal, Natasha Lyonne, Colman Domingo, Steven Yeun, Katherine Heigl, Niecy Nash, Evan Peters, Jenna Ortega, Trevor Noah, Giancarlo Esposito ... and a lot more.

Not too far away was Apple TV's big bash ... and that one was fairly star-studded as well. The big names who rolled through ... Zach Braff, Paul Walter Hauser, Harrison Ford, Kurt Russell, Jason Segel, Hannah Waddingham, Jason Sudeikis, Calista Flockhart ... and others.

One other party that hosted a crap ton of people was the Governor's Gala ... and there, too, the stars flocked. Some of the notable famous faces in their midst -- Ayo Edebiri, Quinta Brunson, Donald Glover, Joel McHale, Ken Jeong, Anthony Anderson, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Allen White, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson ... and several more.

Like we said ... it's TV's biggest night in the biz, and folks made sure to leave their flags planted all over L.A. We're in the thick of awards season right now -- and it's time to shine.

Matthew Perry was top of mind during the Emmys' in memoriam as they honored fallen stars over the year -- and you could tell by the music they chose to close out the segment.

The late actor was highlighted in Monday night's show, being selected as the last person to appear on-screen during Charlie Puth's stripped-down piano performance ... who started out by singing "See You Again" to pay tribute to several television stars who've recently died.

Eventually, he segued into the "Friends" theme as they started to get to the last group of celebrities they wanted to mention ... including Len Goodman, Barbara Walters, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens, Kirstie Alley, Irene Cara, Andre Braugher and eventually ... Perry himself.

Like we said, he was literally the last celeb to appear -- and it fell right in line with CP singing the closing lines of "'Cause you're there for me too." Yep, it was emotional.

You could hear the crowd cheering here too ... a testament to how big his loss was.

Title this one "The Gang Ignores The Emmys To Watch The Eagles Lose."

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" star Rob McElhenney wasn't gonna let a silly awards show get in the way of watching his beloved Eagles' playoff matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday ... 'cause the actor tuned in to the game from his phone in the middle of the ceremony.

Rob's costar and wife Kaitlin Olson captured the scene in a selfie posted to social media ... with a caption that read, "Who schedules the Emmys the same night as the @eagles #gobirds #FlyEaglesFly."

Unfortunately for Rob, the action on the field wasn't a pleasant experience ... as Baker Mayfield led the Bucs to the 32-9 upset win, booting the reigning NFC champs out of the postseason.

The game also had to be a big bummer for Rob, as it appears to be the last one of future Hall of Famer Jason Kelce's stellar career.

While the Eagles won't bring home the Lombardi Trophy in 2024, at least Rob was able to snag some hardware this awards season -- his "Welcome to Wrexham" show received five Emmys off six nominations.

As for 'Sunny,' the gang took the stage to present during the event ... and took the opportunity to bash the fact the show hasn't been nominated in its 16 years on the air -- despite its massive popularity.

Matthew Perry estuvo en la mente de todos durante la ceremonia de los Emmys, especialmente cuando honraron a las estrellas que habían partido el año pasado, y se puede decir con seguridad por la música que eligieron para cerrar el segmento.

El fallecido actor fue destacado en el show del lunes por la noche, al ser elegido como la última persona en aparecer en pantalla en el bloque In memoriam. El segmento estuvo acompañado por la actuación de Charlie Puth, que comenzó cantando "See You Again" para rendir homenaje a varias estrellas de la televisión que han muerto recientemente.

En un momento, comenzó a cantar el tema de "Friends" para honrar al último grupo de celebridades in memoriam, incluyendo a Len Goodman, Barbara Walters, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens, Kirstie Alley, Irene Cara, Andre Braugher y finalmente ... el propio Perry.

Como dijimos, fue literalmente la última celebridad en aparecer y coincidió justo con Charlie Puth cantando las líneas finales de "'Cause you're there for me too". Fue bien emotivo.

En el momento, se pudo escuchar a la multitud animando aquí también, otro testimonio de lo grande que fue su pérdida para todos.

Jo Koy is still taking it on the chin -- the comedian got another taste of his own medicine during Monday's Emmy Awards as Ken Jeong and Joel McHale jabbed at his bombing as host of the Golden Globes.

The "Community" costars mocked Jo for blaming his unamusing lines on his writers -- hitting him hard while they presented the award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program.

Joel joked that former doctor Ken left his medical career not for acting ... but because he'd killed a patient and was still facing a lawsuit over it.

"The instruments that almost killed that dude were the ones the nurses left in, OK?" Ken quipped back ... adding: "The ones that saved his life are the ones I left in. And besides, I only had the gig for 10 days at that point."

Ken and Joel's joke stirred up plenty of laughs from the A-list crowd ... and comes hot on the heels of Jo explaining he didn't have enough time to prepare for the GGs ... and also blasting the audience as "marshmallows" who couldn't laugh at themselves.

You'll recall ... the comedian clearly didn't get the response he was looking for when his cracks on Taylor Swift and the film "Barbie" fell flat.

It was such a fail that even his ex-Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a similar swipe at him at the Critics Choice Awards Sunday.

Jo might not have had enough time to prepare for his hosting gig, but he's clearly given others some fresh material for the stage!

Elton John es la última estrella del panteón en ser parte de los grandes EGOT, y aunque tuvo que esperar mucho, mucho tiempo, valió la pena para abrirse paso en la televisión.

El icónico músico ganó un Emmy el lunes por la noche en la categoría Outstanding Variety Special (Live), por su concierto especial con Disney+, lo que es una gran cosa teniendo en cuenta que solo un puñado de artistas logra integrar este exclusivo club tras conseguir premios en todos los certámenes del espectáculo.

Por supuesto, con su victoria en los Emmy, Elton John se convierte en la 19ª persona que ha ganado un Oscar, un Emmy, un Grammy y un Tony (de allí la sigla EGOT), algo que el propio Rocket Man agradeció en sus declaraciones.

De hecho, el cantante no estuvo presente en la entrega de premios ayer para recoger su trofeo o hacer un discurso, pero su marido David Furnish y un productor ejecutivo del especial subieron en su nombre y transmitieron un mensaje del propio Elton: "Siento mucha humildad de unirme al increíblemente talentoso grupo de ganadores EGOT esta noche".

Y añadió: "El camino hasta este momento ha estado lleno de pasión, de dedicación y del apoyo inquebrantable de mis fans en todo el mundo. Esta noche es un testimonio del poder de las artes y de la alegría que aportan a nuestras vidas. Gracias a todos los que me han apoyado a lo largo de mi carrera, estoy increíblemente agradecido".

En cuanto a por qué no se presentó, Elton tuvo una cirugía recientemente para reemplazar su rodilla y estaba en su casa del Reino Unido recuperándose, aunque Furnish dijo que lo llamaron para darle la noticia.

Ariana DeBose seems to have buried the hatchet with Bella Ramsey -- who made a joke at her expense the night prior ... but all looks to be well now if this photo is any indication.

The two actresses were once again on hand Monday night for the Emmys -- this after attending the Critics Choice Awards the day prior ... and with ADB ending up as a punch line during the Best Song category, when she was labeled an actor who thinks they can sing.

Of course, it was Bella herself who delivered that brutal line -- reading off of a prompter in the distance -- and a lot of people felt Ariana had been done dirty ... herself included.

Fast-forward about 24 hours, and now you got this pic circulating online that shows Bella and Ariana hugging it out during the Emmys. There isn't too much context beyond what writer Evan Ross Katz -- who snapped this -- had to say about it in his lengthy caption.

He wrote, "Incredible! Here’s Bella Ramsey and Academy Award-winner Ariana DeBose hugging at tonight’s Emmy Awards. It’s particularly poignant because of a joke that Ramsey was fed in their teleprompter at the Critic's Choice Awards yesterday which categorized DeBose among 'Actors Who Think They Are Singers.'"

Again, we're not sure what Bella might've said to Ariana -- but it definitely feels like an apology might've been issued ... 'cause the fact is, Ariana most certainly *can* sing.

One other interesting tidbit about this whole saga ... it looks like one Hannah Waddingham -- a big-time TV actress who's done some Broadway as well -- was consoling ADB on the carpet before the show got started. There's photos of the two having a heart-to-heart outside.

Ariana DeBose parece haber enterrado el arma de guerra con Bella Ramsey, quien hizo una broma a costa de ella la noche anterior... Ahora todo parece estar bien entre ambas si nos guiamos por esta foto.

Las dos actrices se encontraron una vez más el lunes por la noche para los Emmys. Esto, después de haber asistido a los Critics Choice Awards el día anterior y de que Ariana DeBose haya terminado como un chiste mientras se presentaba la categoría de Mejor Canción, al ser catalogada por los presentadores como un actor que piensa que puede cantar.

Por supuesto, fue la propia Bella quien pronunció la brutal frase, leyendo de un apuntador a la distancia- y mucha gente sintió que Ariana había sido insultada... incluida ella misma.

Unas 24 horas después, circuló por Internet una foto en la que Bella y Ariana aparecían abrazándose en los Emmy. No hay mucho contexto más allá de lo que el escritor Evan Ross Katz -que tomó esta foto- dijo al respecto en su pie de foto.

Él escribió: "¡Increíble! Aquí está Bella Ramsey y la ganadora del Oscar Ariana DeBose abrazándose en los premios Emmy esta noche. Es particularmente conmovedor debido a una broma que le dieron a Ramsey en su teleprompter en los Critic's Choice Awards ayer que categorizaba a DeBose entre los 'actores que se creen cantantes'".

De nuevo, no estamos seguros de lo que Bella le habrá dicho a Ariana, pero definitivamente se siente como una disculpa porque Ariana ciertamente puede cantar.

Otro dato interesante de esta saga es que parece que Hannah Waddingham, una gran actriz de televisión y que ha hecho algo de Broadway también, estaba consolando a Ariana DeBose en la alfombra antes de que comenzara el espectáculo. Hay fotos de las dos teniendo un momento muy cariñoso juntas.

Elton John is the latest star to land in the pantheon of EGOT greats -- and while he might've had to wait a long, long time ... it was well worth the patience to break through in TV.

The iconic musician won an Emmy Monday night for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) -- due to his Disney+ concert special -- which was a huge deal considering it put him in an exclusive club of other entertainers who've checked all the showbiz boxes.

Of course, with his Emmy win ... EJ becomes the 19th person to have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy and Tony -- something the Rocket Man himself was grateful for, in statement only.

Indeed, Elton wasn't on hand at yesterday's awards show to pick up his hardware or to make a speech in front of everyone ... but his husband, David Furnish, and an EP from the special went up there on his behalf and relayed a message from Elton himself, "I am incredibly humbled to be joining the unbelievably talented group of EGOT winners tonight."

He added, "The journey to this moment has been filled with passion, dedication, and the unwavering support of my fans all around the world. Tonight is a testament to the power of the arts and the joy that it brings to all our lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, I am incredibly grateful."

As for why he didn't show ... Elton had his knee replaced in surgery recently, and he was at home in the UK recovering -- although Furnish did say they called him up with the news.

The biggest night in television is back ... the Emmy Awards are getting started and celebs are showing up to the show looking their best.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are going down right now at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles ... and some of the biggest names in Hollywood are in the house.

Selena Gomez is turning heads, and Kourtney Kardashian is making out with Travis Barker for the cameras.

"The White Lotus" is up for some awards, which means we get to see fan favorite Jennifer Coolidge strutting her stuff.

Check out the gallery ... we've also got looks at Issa Rae, Donald Glover, Jon Hamm, Jenna Ortega, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Puth, Jason Segel, Matty Matheson, Adam Brody, Laverne Cox, Bill Hader and Ken Jeong.

The list goes on ... Ali Wong, Priscilla Presley, Katherine Heigl and Dylan McDermott ... plus this year's host, Anthony Anderson.

You may recall ... the Primetime Emmys were originally supposed to happen back in September, but the award show was delayed because of last year's actors' strike in Hollywood. The strikes are over and now it's time for award season.

Pedro Pascal continuó su divertida disputa con Kieran Culkin este lunes en los Premios Emmy, acusando hilarantemente al actor de haberlo golpeado.

La estrella de "The Last of Us" se subió al escenario usando un cabestrillo en su brazo, en la 75ª edición del evento anual, para presentar el premio al mejor actor de reparto en una serie dramática, que recayó en la estrella de "Succession" Matthew Macfadyen. Lo que ocurrió a continuación quedó grabado en video.

De pie ante un micrófono, Pascal le dijo a la audiencia del Teatro Peacock de Los Ángeles: "Todo el mundo me ha estado preguntando por mi brazo, pero en realidad es mi hombro. Y creo que es hora de que todo el mundo sepa que Kieran Culkin me dio una paliza".

Todo el público estalló en carcajadas, excepto Culkin, que se quedó quieto con un semblante súper serio, mientras lanzaba una dura mirada a Pascal. Aunque Culkin no pudo mantener su seriedad durante mucho tiempo y pronto empezó a reírse entre dientes como el resto de la gente, mientras el video se corta.

A principios de este mes, los dos actores iniciaron su trifulca desenfadada en la entrega de los Globos de Oro en el Beverly Hilton de Beverly Hills.

Mientras aceptaba su premio al "Mejor Actor en una Serie Dramática" por Succession, de HBO, Culkin se burló juguetonamente de Pascal, diciéndole "chúpalo, Pedro". Pascal había sido nominado en la misma categoría por su papel en otra serie de HBO, "The Last of Us".

Por cierto, Pascal le dijo a Associated Press en los Globos de Oro que se lesionó el brazo durante una caída.

Pedro Pascal kept his funny feud going with Kieran Culkin at Monday's Emmy Awards, hilariously accusing the actor of beating "the s**t out of me."

"The Last of Us" star strolled out onstage with his arm in a sling at the 75th annual event to present the award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series to "Succession" star Matthew Macfadyen. What happened next was all caught on video.

Standing at a microphone, Pascal told the star-studded audience in L.A.'s Peacock Theater, "Everyone’s been asking about my arm, but it’s actually my shoulder. And I think it’s time to let everyone know that Kieran Culkin beat the s— out of me.”

The whole crowd burst out in laughter, except Culkin, who sat with a serious look, while shooting a hard stare at Pascal. But, Culkin couldn't keep a straight face for very long and soon began chuckling with the other people, as the video cuts off.

Earlier this month, the two actors launched their light-hearted squabble at the Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.

While accepting the trophy for "Best Actor In A Drama Series" for HBO's Succession, Culkin took a playful jab at Pascal, telling him to "suck it." Pascal had been nominated in the same category for his role in another popular HBO series, "The Last of Us."

By the way, Pascal told the Associated Press at the Golden Globes that he injured his arm during a fall.

Inga Swenson, famous for her work in the early 1980s ABC sitcom "Benson," is dead.

The actress died Sunday night in Los Angeles as a result of natural causes ... her son, Mark, tells TMZ.

Inga's son says her husband, Lowell Harris, was with her when she died at a board and care facility. We're told Inga's heath had been in decline for the past 6 months, so her death did not come as a shock to the family.

Inga famously played German cook Gretchen Kraus on "Benson" ... appearing in over 150 episodes over seven years and earning three Emmy nominations for her work.

"Benson" was a spin-off of another TV sitcom, "Soap," where Inga had a multi-episode role as Ingrid Svenson.

In addition to "Benson," Inga also starred on Broadway ... and her performances as Lizzie Curry in "110 in the Shade" and Irene Adler in "Baker Street" resulted in two nominations for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. She's a trained lyrical soprano.

Inga acted in two movies in 1962 ... with a pair of supporting roles in "Advise and Consent" and "The Miracle Worker," where she plays Helen Keller's mother.

She married Lowell, a sound engineer, in February 1953, and the couple had two children, one of whom already passed away ... and in 1998 she retired from Hollywood.

We're told she wanted to be cremated and have her ashes buried with her late son in San Rafael, CA.

Inga was 90.

The 2023 Emmy Awards are officially on hold as the actors' and writers' strikes continue to freeze everything in Hollywood.

The Television Academy had to pump the breaks on its September 18 ceremony date, according to the New York Times -- and it could be pushed as far out as January ... a move the outlet's source said was "most likely."

The final date is reportedly going to be hammered out in the next few weeks ... and Fox, which is broadcasting the Emmys, was looking at postponing the show last month if the writers stayed on strike through July.

As you know, the writers aren't alone anymore on the picket lines -- WGA put pens down in early May, and SAG-AFTRA joined the cause on July 14 after its negotiations stalled with the studios.

Viola Davis just joined an exclusive club in the world of entertainment ... becoming the 18th EGOT winner in history, this after snagging a Grammy and giving a helluva reaction.

The actress was up for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling Recording for the narration on her memoir, "Finding Me," which was just selected as the winner during the pre-broadcast show that's underway right now.

She went up there for her acceptance speech and got a roaring applause when she said emphatically and quite simply, "I just EGOT!" Indeed, she did ... and now, she's on the list.

Viola joins 17 others who came before her, including two other Black women ... Whoopi Goldberg, who received the honor in 2002 with her Tony award, and Jennifer Hudson -- who hit that milestone last year with her own Tony.

Other EGOT recipients include John Legend, Mel Brooks, Audrey Hepburn, Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Jonathan Tunick, Marvin Hamlisch, Scott Rudin, Mike Nichols, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Robert Lopez, Tim Rice and Alan Menken.

Viola, of course, won an Oscar for her work in "Fences," two Tonys for "Fences" (the theatrical play) and "King Hedley II," an Emmy for "How To Get Away with Murder" ... and now this.

Trevor Noah has just rocked cable news and news itself ... he's leaving his gig on Comedy Central.

Trevor made the announcement Thursday, telling the audience his 7-year tenure is coming to an end ... and he made the announcement on his 7-year anniversary.

A Comedy Central source tells TMZ ... his decision has to do with his schedule, which is hardcore crazy ... and it's just too much of a grind for him to do a daily show.

Comedy Central says, "We are grateful to Trevor for our amazing partnership over the past seven years. As we look ahead, we're excited for the next chapter in the 25+ year history of 'The Daily Show.'"

It's unclear when Trevor will leave the show ... our Comedy Central source says Trevor and the CC team are working together on "a timeline for his departure."

TN has hosted "The Daily Show" since 2015, taking over for longtime host Jon Stewart on the satirical news program.

During his time as host, Trevor won a Primetime Emmy Award ... and was nominated for a bunch of other awards.

In 2017, Trevor extended his contract with Comedy Central through 2022 ... and now he's leaving altogether.

It will be interesting to see who Comedy Central tabs as the next 'Daily Show' host ... but one thing is for sure, they will have some big shoes to fill.
