‘The Daily Show' leads Best Talk Series Emmy odds amid outrage over the low number of available slots
Now this is something to talk about. There's outrage in Hollywood over the expected number of nomination slots for the Best Talk Series Emmy. With only 13 submissions this year, the category is dropping from four nominees to a historic low of three. In this era of Peak TV, that simply doesn't seem like enough representation. More from GoldDerby Everything to know about 'The Pitt' Season 2 'Awards Magnet': New Emmy predictions - including those cutthroat lead categories 'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst': 'Overcompensating' breakout Wally Baram on making her acting debut, defiling prop toilet In 2023, buoyed by industry complaints that Last Week Tonight With John Oliver kept winning the talk-show category despite not exactly being one, the Television Academy reimagined the variety races as Best Talk Series and Best Scripted Variety Series. The former is for programs that rely on unscripted moments such as interviewing guests, while the latter is for variety fare, essentially scripted from start to finish. That solved the John Oliver problem, but it also limited the number of submissions for each category. Last year, there were 14 entries for Best Talk Series, which yielded four nominees, and in the years prior there were almost always five nominees (there were 19 submissions in 2023 and 2022, 20 submissions in 2021, and 24 submissions in 2020). Reigning champion The Daily Show, which now rotates hosts among Jon Stewart, Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, and Desi Lydic, is currently out front. In 2024, the long-running political gabfest welcomed back Stewart, who originally hosted from 1999 to 2015, to give his comedic take on the presidential election. He still hosts every Monday night, and he recently extended his contract through the end of 2025. A favorite of the TV Academy, Stewart has won a whopping 23 Emmys in his career, from 61 total nominations. "The only bad thing I can say about him is that he's very lazy and will only work one day a week," Lydic recently told Gold Derby in jest. "But that's great for all of us. We get to cover his shifts for the rest of the week." The Late Show With Stephen Colbert is in the runner-up position. The CBS program has been nominated every year since 2017, and before that, Colbert was up 10 different times as a producer for his satire program The Colbert Report, which took home the top trophy in 2013 and 2014. The last time a conventional talk show (i.e., those that start with a monologue and include desk bits and carefree celebrity interviews) claimed this Emmy was in 2002 for Late Show With David Letterman, so it's a fair assumption that voters have moved on from the format. Disney/Randy Holmes Also looking safe for a nomination is Jimmy Kimmel Live, in third place. ABC's perennial late-night program has enjoyed a run of 13 nominations in a row for Best Talk Series (2012-24), but it hasn't won an Emmy in any category since 2010 (for its costumes). Kimmel frequently goes viral with his take-downs of President Donald Trump and those in his cabinet. The entertainer has three Emmys to his name, but none for his talk show; he won for hosting the 2024 Oscars and for producing two installments of Live in Front of a Studio Audience in 2019 and 2020. With only three slots in Best Talk Series, many great shows will be left out in the cold, including freshman Netflix entry Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, chicken wing talker Hot Ones, and the 11-year-old Late Night With Seth Meyers. Seth Meyers, who has been on the Emmy campaign trail in recent weeks, told Gold Derby, "I can't believe I'm still doing this, but there's literally nothing else I'd rather be doing." Gold Derby's Emmy odds are based on the combined forecasts of more than 3,500 people (and counting), including experts we've polled from major media outlets, editors who cover awards year-round for this website, and the mass of users who make up our biggest predictions bloc.

Sarah Jessica Parker reveals why she 'sobbed' during Sex and the City stint amid Kim Cattrall feud
Sarah Jessica Parker has opened up about the most upsetting part of starring on Sex and the City amid her feud with former co-star Kim Cattrall. 'I think just discussions of my physical person [were the hardest],' the 60-year-old former child star told Call Her Daddy on Wednesday. 'Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing, or even still after hearing something that was like, "What? Somebody would say that?" — even still, no interest in changing it.' Sarah wondered if her critics 'would say that to my face' if they had a real conversation. 'I didn't feel like I could sit in a room and someone would say to me, "You're really unattractive,"' Parker mused. 'And then I could say, "Wow. Well, first of all, that's hard to hear. But second of all, why do you seem angry about it? Or why do you feel it's necessary to comment?"' The 60-year-old former child star told Call Her Daddy on Wednesday: 'I think just discussions of my physical person [were the hardest]. Like, stuff that I couldn't change and wouldn't change and had never considered changing, or even still after hearing something that was like, "What? Somebody would say that?" — even still, no interest in changing it' The two-time Emmy winner hit a breaking point when she read 'something really mean' about how she looked in a magazine, which she called 'a kick in the rubber parts.' 'I called two of my friends, who happened to be male because I knew that they might know about it. And I was just like sobbing because it felt so purposeful,' Sarah recalled. 'And I think that's the only time I really cried about it. I think it was just an accumulation of maybe a season of that kind of commentary, which no one was trying to make me aware of it, but it gets [back to you].' Before producing and starring in Darren Star's small-screen adaptation of Candace Bushnell's newspaper column and 1996 book anthology, Parker noted that 'there was no chatter about me. There was just my work.' 'It was the personal stuff that I was really not prepared for,' the Ohio-born actress explained. 'At that time, I thought I was a fairly confident I think it really comes into question and is tested when you're kind of filleted in a better for those kinds of experiences, but not all of us are good at it right away.' Sex and the City - which was iconic yet culturally Caucasian - aired for six seasons on HBO and spawned two terrible films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010) as well as a forgettable prequel, The CW's The Carrie Diaries (2013–14).

Variety reported that the SJP Collection founder, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis all earned $10M paychecks to executive produce and star in season one, but it's unclear if they've since received raises.

Kristen Bell, Tina Fey, Bridget Everett, and the best of our Emmy Comedy Actress interviews
Over the past two months of Emmy campaigning, Gold Derby has spoken with several contenders in all categories. Now with voting underway ahead of the July 15 unveiling of the nominees, we have compiled nine interviews for stars vying for Best Comedy Actress, including: Kristen Bell (Nobody Wants This), Bridget Everett (Somebody Somewhere), Tina Fey (The Four Seasons), Kate Hudson (Running Point), Margo Martindale (The Sticky), Wendi McLendon-Covey (St. Denis Medical), Melissa Rauch (Night Court), Natasha Rothwell (How to Die Alone), and Allison Tolman (St. Denis Medical). Read on for highlights from each interviews and links to watch our full video Q&As. More from GoldDerby 'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst': 'Overcompensating' breakout Wally Baram on making her acting debut, defiling prop toilet The case of Leslie Abramson vs. Marcia Clark: Ari Graynor and Sarah Paulson on 'defending' their characters In Pixar's 'Elio,' Easter eggs are literally written in the stars - will you be able to spot them all? Created by Erin Foster and inspired by her marriage, the show follows the interfaith romance between Joanne (Bell), an agnostic podcaster, and "hot rabbi" Noah (Adam Brody). "What I liked so much about the dynamic was I was able to see clearly Joanne was a child and Noah was an adult until they switch," Bell tells us. "But initially, Joanne is messy and can't really commit or doesn't know how to hold things down together. And Noah has all these adult attributes, like stability that she gravitates towards. And she wants that. She just doesn't know how to get it." Watch our complete interview with Kristen Bell. In the HBO Max comedy series, Everett plays Sam, a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggles to fit the hometown mold. Grappling with loss and acceptance, she discovers herself and a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give up. "Sam is just trying to learn to exist in these new parameters," Everett says. "You get a little bit older, people start coupling up, and if you're not one — a party of three is just a little different. That's life, so you just acclimate." Watch our complete interview with Bridget Everett. Fey is the star, producer, and writer of the Netflix comedy, which is a remake of the original 1981 film from star, director, and writer Alan Alda. 'It was a really conscious effort to work in a different tone,' Fey says. 'We wanted to evoke the tone of the original movie. At the same time, we knew we were doing eight episodes for streaming, so we felt like we needed just enough story energy to feel like we were cliff-hangering and pulling people one episode to the next. It was a challenge for all of us to be restrained about where we put jokes. The few other characters we meet can't be too absurd. We have to stay grounded, stay tethered. And that's the goal — if we were to strip some things away, would we be able to hold tinier emotional moments and small behaviors as subtler jokes.' Watch our complete video interview with Tina Fey. In the Netflix series, Hudson stars as Isla Gordon, a fictionalized version of L.A. Lakers owner Jeanie Buss. "Jeanie's approach, which was actually kind of surprising to all of us, was, 'Go, have fun, enjoy it, I'm hands-off.' She just was all trust. It was a great lesson," says Hudson. "When you give trust, we all want to honor what it is that she gifted us, which was this awesome place to tell amazing stories in so many different ways about family, about women, about high stakes sports. That allowed me to be able to create Isla and not do Jeanie. It isn't a biopic. It really allowed it to take on a life of its own, which gives us freedom in comedy to separate it from the insanely high stakes world that Jeanie lives in." Read our complete interview with Kate Hudson. The Emmy-winning star of Justified and The Americans spoke to Gold Derby about her star turn on Prime Video's The Sticky, a dark comedy about an unlikely, bumbling trio who team up to pull off a maple syrup heist. "I love acting no matter how you throw it at me," she says. "But it was an honor to lead the tone of a show, meaning not the tone of the story, but the tone of the atmosphere of the group that, everybody's kind to each other and supportive." Martindale has long been called a "character actor," but that label has no meaning for her. "Acting is character acting. You think Meryl Streep's not a character actress? She's a character actress." Watch our complete interview with Margo Martindale. The veteran sitcom star plays hospital administrator Joyce on the NBC/Peacock mockumentary comedy series. 'In my mind, she became an administrator because she got tired of being told how to practice medicine,' McLendon-Covey says of the backstory she created for her character. But now, instead of battling with insurance companies over patient care, all she does now is 'beg for money all day. ... It's the delicious line I get to walk.' Watch our complete interview with Wendi McLendon-Covey. Rauch plays Judge Abby Stone on NBC's reboot also starring John Larroquette. The first scenes during the pilot, which were shot shortly after they met in person for the first time, had a real "electricity in the air," she says. And she's been picking up nuggets of wisdom ever since — down to the way Larroquette fills in the space between when the punchline lands and the audience stops laughing. "It's otherworldly," she says. "It's sort of like riding a wave and coming to the end of it. I love it so much, getting to watch him do it. … I'm constantly just taking notes from everyone." Watch our complete interview with Melissa Rauch. Rothwell created the series, in which she plays broke, single, plus-size JFK Airport worker Mel, who is deciding she wants more out of life after nearly choking to death remains a tough pill to swallow. "That show is the most vulnerable thing I've ever put in the world, and it remains the thing that I'm the most proud of," she tells us. "And it is definitely the product of 20 years of therapy, being able to say a lot of those things out loud. That scene in particular. … I went to school for theater. It's like, let's just treat the third act like a one act play. Let's just be in it. Let's just hear this conversation. Let's see these two people talk and say the things that have gone unsaid their entire lives, and that requires room to breathe." Watch our complete interview with Natasha Rothwell. The Emmy nominee talked to Gold Derby about playing supervising nurse Alex in the NBC/Peacock comedy series, a mom with two children at home who struggles with setting work-life boundaries. 'It can be lonely to be the straight man in a comedy like this because you're not the one who gets the big moments or the big jokes or the big set pieces,' the actress says. But the role does have its unique attributes, too. 'I really feel a kinship with the audience and I really feel like the responsibility and the honor of being their touchstone. … The joy of Alex for me is that she's really aware of how all of this is coming off and she's really aware of the fact that she's being observed at all times.' Watch our complete interview with Allison Tolman.

Adam Brody, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and the best of our Emmy Comedy Actor interviews
Over the past few months of Emmy campaigning, Gold Derby has spoken with several contenders in all categories. Now with voting underway ahead of the July 15 unveiling of the nominees, we have compiled 10 interviews for stars vying for Best Comedy Actor, including: Brian Jordan Alvarez (English Teacher), Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This), Ted Danson (A Man on the Inside), David Alan Grier (St. Denis Medical), Luke Kirby (Étoile), Danny McBride (The Righteous Gemstones), David Oyelowo (Government Cheese), Seth Rogen (The Studio), Jason Segel (Shrinking), and Saagar Shaikh (Deli Boys). Read on for highlights from each interviews and links to watch our full video Q&As. More from GoldDerby 'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst': 'Overcompensating' breakout Wally Baram on making her acting debut, defiling prop toilet The case of Leslie Abramson vs. Marcia Clark: Ari Graynor and Sarah Paulson on 'defending' their characters In Pixar's 'Elio,' Easter eggs are literally written in the stars - will you be able to spot them all? The creator, writer, director, and star for the FX comedy series plays Evan Marquez, an English teacher in Austin, Texas, navigating the complex sociopolitical climate of high school and his personal life, specifically his on-again, off-again boyfriend Malcolm (Jordan Firstman). "I think with hot topics in general, somehow we just found in the voice of the show that we could handle this stuff, that there was a certain perspective, or even I would say the show has a certain empathy and intelligence that allows us to really look at things that can be uncomfortable conversations," Alvarez says. Watch our complete interview with Brian Jordan Alvarez. Brody plays "hot rabbi" Noah, who falls for Joanne (Kristen Bell), an agnostic podcaster for the Netflix comedy series. The two have to navigate numerous obstacles, religious and non-religious, in their relationship. For Brody, the rapturous reception to the show has been "lovely, wonderful, very, very surprising, very gratifying. I really can't think of a negative," he says. "Maybe it'll come, but I don't know. I've been doing this a long time, so it's not like it's surprising, but I feel acclimated to the business, the ebbs and flows. So it's nothing that I don't feel ready to handle, but it's just really lovely." Watch our complete interview with Adam Brody. Danson plays Charles, a retired professor struggling to move on after the passing of his wife. To find purpose and solve the mystery of a stolen necklace, he accepts an undercover job in a retirement home. For the new Netflix comedy he admits, 'I'm exploring aging at 76. Some of it hurts a little, there's more aches and pains. There's some sadness because you live long enough. But I'm beginning to learn, 'so what? keep going!' And I get the same thrill driving through a studio gate today that I did when I was in my late 20s. One of my goals in life is to keep acting and figure out how to be funny at every age.' Watch our complete video interview with Ted Danson. Grier stars on the NBC mockumentary as the curmudgeonly but knowledgeable Doctor Ron. The balance of comedy and pathos stood out the most to Grier. 'It's a weird show, it's like a hybrid,' explains the actor, who trained at the Yale School of Drama. He finds that 'the humor there is earned and organic. … The way it's written, it's a drama,' and notes, 'The biggest challenge was just, you have to trust … I had to trust that the tone was right.' Read our complete interview with David Alan Grier. Kirby stars as Jack MacMillan, the head of a New York ballet company who engages in a talent swap with a Paris troupe in a bid to revive interest in both for the Prime Video series. He says, 'I'm really happy with how people are responding to the dynamism of the story, the kinetic energy of it, how different it is from our last endeavor. And I think the biggest thing is just people saying the show grows as the episodes go on, that it does work as a big movie where things are revealed episode to episode where by the end, you have this very rich tapestry of information for these characters and this endeavor to keep their art alive.' Watch our complete interview with Luke Kirby. McBride stars as Jesse Gemstone, member of a famous televangelist and megachurch pastor family in South Carolina for the HBO Max comedy. He says that creating the series "is kind of what drives me more than anything. I just love telling stories, and I like creating stories, and it's honestly part of why I'm closing the chapter on Gemstones, as much fun as I've had making the show. As much as I love the entire cast and I've loved making it, I just want to tell more stories. And I see how quick time's moving on and I've been on Gemstones since I wrote the pilot in 2017. And it's been an absolute blast, but my brain is just firing and wanting to tell other stories as well. For me, that's kind of my driving force. What inspires me the most is just trying to find a new world and new characters to explore. Watch our complete interview with Danny McBride. The Apple TV+ show is tightly focused on the personal story of the Chambers family, a Black family living in the San Fernando Valley during the summer of 1969. Says Oyelowo of his character, Hampton Chambers: "He is a bit of a scoundrel. But I think the lovability and the relatability come from the fact that he is constantly trying to be better, and, of course, failing at that. And that is the drama, that is the tension of the show. He is both selfish and selfless. He is both a man of faith and steeped in fear. He is someone who loves his kids but really behaves in very questionable ways as a father, the same thing as a husband. So, you know, I think that's both relatable and, of course, is quite a compelling thing to watch play out.' Watch our complete interview with David Oyelowo. Rogen is the cocreator, producer, director, writer, and star of the Apple TV+ series about the new head of a Hollywood studio. Discussing the work involved in some of the episodes, he says, "The Vegas stuff was hard, but to me, the Golden Globes one was the one I was most proud of. We had an incredibly specific vision for it in in every way, and the vision was incredibly complicated — we just had to shoot it at the Beverly Hilton. And that was incredibly restrictive and logistically difficult. I wanted there to be never a suspension in disbelief in the caliber of celebrity you were seeing — that's not who'd be winning a Golden Globe, that's not who'd be hosting the Golden Globes, that's not who'd be getting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Globes, that's not who'd be presenting at the Golden Globes. And so given that that was our self-imposed mandate, pulling off an award show was incredibly difficult, and getting that amount of cameos to show up in that time frame was incredibly difficult. "It was also the first time that we were really using our oner shooting style in an environment with so many people. A lot of the episodes are pretty contained — maybe 30, 40 people in some scenes. But this, every scene had 500 people in it, and so we instantly saw, oh, the resets take so much longer, and so much more can go wrong. And even though very few people have been to the Golden Globes, and ever will go to the Golden Globes, very few people will understand the lengths I went through to obtain this. I just wanted it to feel like you were there. And when I watch it, to me, it really feels like what it feels like to be at the Golden Globes, and I'm very proud that I was able to do that." Watch our complete interview with Seth Rogen. The Apple TV+ series is about how Jimmy (Segel) rebuilds his life following the death of his wife, who was killed by a drunk driver named Louis (played by Brett Goldstein in Season 2) 'I have found with time that for me, my best strategy acting-wise, is to know my sh-s really well," says Segel. To know it so well that I like to think of it as if I'm planning a river rafting trip and then I step into the river, and all of a sudden, the river is in charge. And these plans you have, they're helpful but moot. So when Brett's doing something, my job is just to be there for it. My job on the show is to be there for all these people doing their thing. And that may be part of the function of being the main guy with all these people orbiting you and it's your job to let them reflect off of you.' Watch our complete interview with Jason Segel. The Hulu comedy series centers on a pair of brothers who learn that their multimillionaire father was a secret drug kingpin. "We're not teaching a lesson. We're not taking a stance on anything. We're just having fun, we're being silly, we're making this stupid show that we love so much," says Shaikh. The mix of comedy and high stakes action "really piggy-back off of each other. It's easy to play funny when the stakes are so high, because it's almost like a reversal in genre in that moment. The audience isn't expecting the switch to be so immediate," and "the comedy cuts the tension" of the high stakes at play. At the same time, "the goriness, the drama, the drug aspect of it, really cuts the tension of the comedy. So they kind of work really well together." Watch our complete interview with Saagar Shaikh.

Barbara Walters' success was fueled by personal struggles, documentary director says
Barbara Walters had a legendary 50-year broadcast career fueled in large part by the private struggles she faced behind the scenes, according to the director of a new documentary on her life. In the documentary, "Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything," the late journalist herself describes the struggles her family faced, particularly her father, Lou Walters, a nightclub impresario who owned the Latin Quarter, a club in New York City's Times Square. "My mother had no means of having a livelihood and my nightmare was that my father was going to lose it all," Barbara Walters, who died in 2022 at the age of 93, says in archival footage shown in the documentary. "He was a gambler by nature. He gambled on cards, and eventually he gambled on the Latin Quarter. And after years of success, he had nothing, nothing." She continued, "My father was in great despair, and he attempted suicide from an overdose of sleeping pills. I was in my 20s, and I had to support my whole family. I had to work at a time when many women of my generation were not working." Barbara Walters' forced responsibility of having to provide for her family -- which included an older sister with a disability -- was a pressure that led her to great professional success, according to Jackie Jesko, who directed "Barbara Walters Tell Me Everything." "Her dad goes riches to rags story, and then Barbara -- and this is at a time few women worked at all -- she becomes the breadwinner for the family, and I think that pressure really propels her for the rest of her life," Jesko said Wednesday on " Good Morning America." Jesko said she had 50 years of archival footage of Barbara Walters to draw from for the documentary, which begins streaming June 23 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. To begin to tell the story of the life of the trailblazing journalist, Jesko said she looked to Barbara Walters' own memoir, "Audition," as a blueprint. "Her own book, 'Audition,' was kind of our guide. I wanted to know what was important to her. What were the career highlights that really stood out to her?" Jesko said. "That was really, really helpful." Barbara Walters joined ABC News in 1976, becoming the first female anchor on an evening news program. Three years later, she became a co-host of "20/20," and in 1997, she launched "The View." In a career that spanned five decades, Walters won 12 Emmy Awards, 11 of those while at ABC News. She made her final appearance as a co-host of "The View" in 2014, but remained an executive producer of the show and continued to do some interviews and specials for ABC News.
