The nominees for the 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards have been announced, and we’re excited to see a few familiar faces! Specifically the faces of a Muppet performer and a Muppet pickle.
Sesame Street’s most recent primetime special, When You Wish Upon a Pickle got two nominations: One for the special itself, and one for Eric Jacobson! Jacobson was nominated as a “voice-over performer”, which we all know is only a fraction of what the job entails. But hey, until the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences creates a puppetry category, we’ll take what we can get.
Check out the categories and the competition below!
