Emmys Preview: ‘Happy Days,’ ‘SNL,’ ‘The West Wing’ Cast Reunions and Jelly Roll’s ‘In Memoriam’ Performance


The 76th Emmys executive producers tease what to expect on Sunday, including a 'Happy Days' reunion, TV character mashups and Jelly Roll's In Memoriam.

Unlike the 75th ceremony in January, which focused on cast reunions, this time the producers are mashing together iconic stars and their characters, past and present. The producers had already been brainstorming the “characters” concept when they landed on the Levys — who won Emmys for playing father and son on “Schitt’s Creek” — and realized it fit perfectly. Meanwhile, Collins and team revealed that Jelly Roll will pause his current concert tour to drop by the Emmys and perform the show’s In Memoriam segment.
