All’s fair in love and presenting.
Though Woody Harrelson may have slightly overstayed his onstage welcome after Widow’s Bay was announced as the winner for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2026 Emmys, it was no sweat off the cast’s back.
“We’re all huge fans of his,” series creator Katie Dippold exclusively told E! News backstage after their win. “He’s probably one of the most famous people in the entire world.”
In fact, the cast and crew of the Apple TV series—which includes stars Matthew Rhys, Kate O’Flynn, Kevin Carroll and Stephen Root—would be more than happy for him to appear in season two.
But with a caveat. As director Hiro Murai noted, “We’d have to put a lot of prosthetics on him or something.”
Root echoed the need for a disguise, adding, “You’d need to put a lot of makeup on him to do this show,” after which Rhys quipped, “It’d be like a Glenn Close moment in Hook.”
But jokes and invitations aside, having Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey present the award was something out Dippold’s wildest dreams.
