“The Studio” won best comedy series at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night, breaking an Emmys record, as “Adolescence” and “The Pitt” took the night’s other top prizes.
But the night’s most popular winner was likely Stephen Colbert. He received a prolonged and rousing standing ovation for his talk series win, which comes after CBS announced it is canceling “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
What to know:
“The Studio” triumphs: Seth Rogen’s Apple TV+ series set a record for the most wins by a comedy series in a single season, and finished the night by nabbing the top award. “I’m legitimately embarrassed by how happy this makes me,” Rogen said.
Winners list: In a competitive year, “The Pitt” took home the best drama series award while star Noah Wyle won best actor in a drama. “Adolescence” took home six trophies including best limited series, and Jean Smart won her fourth leading actress in a comedy award for HBO’s “Hacks”.
The night’s highlights: Host Nate Bargatze’s diabolical — yet altruistic — scheme to keep winners’ speeches short ultimately netted a $350,000 donation to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, after some creative math and rushed thanks on the part of winners.
