Sen. Mitch McConnell has returned to Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. three months after being hospitalized for a medical emergency. “Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June,” McConnell, 84, revealed in a statement on Monday, September 14. “I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues.” He continued, “My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader [John Thune] that, as…

To no one’s surprise, Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” took home the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. What was surprising was that Colbert used the public victory to make the case that the writers and staff of “The Late Show” should be hired, pronto. “I just want to point out that if you like the comedy tonight, my old writers wrote it,” Colbert said at the beginning of his acceptance speech.

John Mulaney wasn’t letting any jabronis take the stage at the 2026 Emmy Awards. The celebrated comedian proved why he is one of the greats as he presented the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in…
“Is Taylor Swift going to be there?” is an animating question of pretty much every major awards show, but the answer at the 2026 Emmys was somewhat unexpected.
John Mulaney had the first bleeped moment of the night at the 2026 Emmy Awards. The comedian, 44, took to the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday, September 14, to present the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Before announcing the winner, however, Mulaney got a few laughs out of the crowd with several jokes, including a censored jab at DJ Khaled. “I believe it was DJ Khaled who said, ‘Real men don’t go down on their wives,’” Mulaney quipped at the awards show. “But these nominees know that that is B.S. They…
Matthew Rhys took home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Mayor Tom Loftis in Widow’s Bay at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, September 14, making history as the first male actor to ever win in a Lead Actor category (one for drama, one for comedy) twice in the same evening. “This is purely for the depraved and twisted mind of Katie Dippold and her genius really does live in the recesses of her disturbed brain,” Rhys, 51, began in his acceptance speech while thanking the show’s creator and showrunner.
