Emmy Season is upon us, and The Hollywood Reporter has you covered.
On Wednesday, May 20, THR launches its annual, Emmy-nominated roundtable series with a new batch of star-studded conversations featuring Shrinking’s Harrison Ford, The Pitt’s Noah Wyle, The Comeback’s Lisa Kudrow, Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon and Good Girl stand-up Nikki Glaser — among many, many others.
Moderated by THR’s Lacey Rose and Mikey O’Connell, the series continues in its unfiltered format, delivering candid, thoughtful and often deeply funny conversations about bizarre fan interactions, becoming memes and regrettable auditions. The series, which is unparalleled in its ability to consistently curate A-list conversations, was filmed across several days this spring at The Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica. Everyone involved is eligible for the 2026 Emmy Awards.
