Why Connie Britton Missed the 'American Horror Story: Murder House' Reunion at 2023 Emmys

The actress was set to appear alongside Dylan McDermott during Monday's awards show ceremony.

Britton's rep confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the actress was forced to fly back to New York early, as she's scheduled to shoot her new TV miniseries Zero Day, and had to beat an impending snow storm bearing down on the East Coast. McDermott -- backed by a moody, gothic recreation of the first season's titular haunted estate, and surrounded by on-stage fog -- held down the fort, honoring the show's creators Ryan Murphy and Bryan Falchuk, and the impact their hit series has had on the TV landscape. He was also tasked with presenting the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie -- which ended up going to Beef star Steven Yeun -- and he got some help from host Anthony Anderson in a black, skin-tight bodysuit, portraying the nightmarish AHS antagonist, the Rubber Man.
