Maureen Callahan recaps the 2026 Emmy Awards, including the behavioral dynamics between two-time winner Matthew Rhys and his partner, Keri Russell, Sally Field's spastic mannerisms and disrespectful remark during her acceptance speech, Stephen Colbert's palpable desperation when he took the stage, R. Scott Gemmill’s self-righteous speech, Macaulay Culkin’s troubling red carpet behavior, and more. Then Maureen is joined by The Nerve's lead investigator Teddy Van Halen to read through Troublemaker feedback and review the best and worst red carpet fashion of the night.
