Always Sunny: The Gang Calls Out, Tries Squashing Emmys Beef (VIDEO)
After 16 seasons, The Gang from FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia got a chance to question the Emmys about where all the love's been.
Article Summary
- It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast discusses their Emmy snubs during the presentation.
- Danny DeVito contrasts his past Emmy wins with the show's zero nominations.
- Rhea Perlman's guest appearance in Season 16 was a season highlight.
- Rob McElhenney shares Emmy night experience, including watching football.
What do Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould's Better Call Saul and FXX's Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson & Danny DeVito– starring It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia have in common? Both of them are critically praised & beloved series with rabid fanbases that have been ignored by the Television Academy's Emmy Awards. But as heartbreaking as it is to know that the now-ended "Breaking Bad" spinoff went 0-for-53 when it came to wins versus nominations, The Gang from Paddy's has been running for 16 record-breaking seasons and not received a single Emmy nomination. So when we heard that The Gang would be getting the band back together to present the award for Outstanding Talk Series (Trevor Noah & The Daily Show would take top honors), we had a feeling that the topic of "Emmy snub" would be the theme.
"Have you guys been doing this every year without us?" Day asked toward tje opening of their segment. "I feel like we're getting the full Marvel treatment here." To make matters even a little more insulting, this year also marks the first time that The Gang was invited to attend the biggest awards ceremony in television. Let that one sink in. DeVito really drove the point home when he reminded them that he had already won an Emmy for his work on Taxi – which would run for five seasons, picking up 34 nominations and 18 wins. "34 nominations in five years vs. zero nominations in 16 years? That math is bad!" Olson observed – before DeVito added, "Rhea [Perlman] won four for 'Cheers.'" Interesting note: Rhea Perlman appeared as Bertha Fussy in S16E03: "The Gang Gets Cursed."
Here's a look at what McElhenney had to share from both of his Emmys experiences (yup, McElhenney & Olson are such Eagles diehards that they were watching the game on the phone while in the audience for the Emmys):
