If you went into last night's Emmy Awards telecast, expecting that the White Lotus, Ted Lasso,

and Succession would all have a good night, you weren't surprised.

But there were plenty of unexpected wins as well with Squid Game and Abbott Elementary

each taking home a few awards, and several of the wins came with wildly charismatic acceptance

speeches.

I'm Linda Holmes.

I'm Glenn Weldon.

It's 12.03 a.m. and we are recapping the 2022 Emmy Awards on Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR.

It's just the two of us today, so let's get started.

Let's start Linda with the awards themselves.

As we said, Ted Lasso and Succession had good nights, Ted Lasso won Outstanding Comedy

Series, Jason Sudeikus won for Lead Actor Again, Brett Goldstein won for Supporting Actor

Again, and MJ Delaney won for Directing.

Any thoughts on Ted Lasso?

Look, I still like Ted Lasso.

A lot of good comedies going around.

Still like it, but you know, it is what it is.

Succession won in the Drama Categories, one Outstanding Drama Series, Matthew McFadion,

won for Best Supporting Actor, and Jesse Armstrong for Writing.

I love Succession.

I also would have, you know, there are other shows in that category that I love including

Severance, and you know, look, I'm not going to argue with Succession.
