Niecy Nash-Betts, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie

Niecy Nash-Betts told Jennifer that despite all the buzz she received for her role in “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” she had yet to write an Emmy speech.

“If they call my name, I kind of have an idea of what I would want to say,” she said. “But I haven’t put pen to paper.”

“Well, you got that idea good and ready because I got a feeling you are on your way,” Jennifer predicted. (And she was right!)

Quinta Brunson, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

Star, producer, writer, and creator Quinta Brunson won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, making her the first Black woman in over 40 years to win in this category!

Quinta shared with Jennifer Hudson that though “Abbott Elementary” was inspired by her mother, the title of the show pays tribute to a teacher named Miss Abbott. “She was one of the most influential teachers I’ve ever had in my life,” Quinta said.

“She called me when she found out and she was very emotional about it,” she recalled. “One of the most positive things to come from it is she’s doing speaking engagements. She’s helping other educators. She’s kind of spreading what made her such a good teacher to other teachers, and I think that’s really important.”

Sam Claflin revealed to Jennifer that he learned to sing for his lead role on the Amazon Prime Video miniseries “Daisy Jones & The Six.”

“I never dreamt of singing on an album, but singing on an album in an American accent is a whole ’nother ballgame,” he said.

“I’ve never been in a recording studio before my audition for this,” he recalled. “I learned a lot.”

But he doesn’t have any interest in pursuing a music career. “I have no intention of continuing!” he said. “It’s terrifying!”

Outstanding Talk Series

Roy Wood Jr. told Jennifer that even though the host of “The Daily Show” was in flux after Trevor Noah announced his departure, the show would go on.

“The mission has not changed of the show,” he said. “There’s a lot of craziness in the world. We have to try and break it down and make it simple, make it plain, and make it funny.”

“I’m thankful that Trevor Noah gave me an opportunity for the last seven, eight years to be a part of that journey and tell relevant stories,” Roy said.

“You’re being judged and scrutinized,” Derek Hough told JHud about performing in the public eye. “At a very young age, I had to believe in myself.”

“In order to feel like I was worthy, I had to succeed, I had to win — only then I would feel like I was enough,” he said. “What I didn’t really realize at the time is it’s not about what we achieve in this life that matters but who we become as a person that’s really going to fulfill us.”

“When you start to realize that, then you already are enough,” he added. “I wish I could tell little Derek that.”

Outstanding Game Show

Mayim Bialik discussed being one of the hosts of “Jeopardy!” following Alex Trebek’s passing. “When I first started hosting, I was just excited to hear people getting so many things right,” she said. “Every time they got something right, I was like, ‘Yes, that’s amazing! You know so many things!’”

Melanie Lynskey, who stars on the HBO series “The Last of Us,” told Jennifer she only agreed to appear on the hit show because her husband, Jason Ritter, is a huge fan of the video game on which it’s based.

“I’m always tired, so every time a job comes up, I’m like ‘Mmm… do I want to?’” she told the host.

“And he was like, ‘It’s ‘The Last of Us’!’ It’s his favorite video game of all time,” she said. “He loves it. And then I read the script, and it was so good.”

As for what it was like filming the series, Melanie called the experience “horrific and disgusting.”

“There’s a scene I took part in where swarms of mushroom-faced zombie monsters come out of the ground, and it was all practical — people in makeup that took hours and hours,” said Melanie.

“And there were stunt performers, and circus performers, and acrobats, and people tumbling and running as fast as they can towards you, hundreds of people with this makeup on,” she recalled, adding of her terror in the scenes, “There was not a lot of acting involved!”

Outstanding Structured Reality Program

Netflix’s makeover series won an Emmy for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. Co-host Bobby Berk shared details about “Queer Eye” filming in New Orleans for their seventh season.

“A lot of sweat, because we filmed in New Orleans in the middle of summer,” he said. “New Orleans is so unique, it’s not [just] unlike any other city in the U.S., but any other city in the world. The food, the culture, the music — it was like we were in another country, and it was just amazing.”
