‘Traitors’ Host Alan Cumming on the Cheekiest Character of His Career — Himself — and Why He Doesn’t Watch ‘Real Housewives’


Awards Circuit Podcast: Alan Cumming is having the best time playing "Alan Cumming." Also on this episode, the Roundtable talks category confusion.

Alan Cumming isn’t much of a reality TV fan — so as host of Peacock’s “ The Traitors,” he enjoys being a bit blind to the baggage that many of the contestants carry to the Scottish Highlands. He also discusses the impact he hopes his wardrobe on “The Traitors” might have on the greater population, and the creepy scene between “Alan” and his trusty assistant “Fergus” that ultimately didn’t make the Season 2 cut. As for Apple TV+’s cancellation of “Schmigadoon!,” Cumming says he was excited to return for Season 3, which was going to focus on the large-scale musicals of the 1980s and 1990s like “Cats,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Miserables” and more.
