Emmy Awards for this cast. The stars of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” made a surprise appearance during Monday’s Emmy Awards, where they presented the award for Outstanding Talk Series.
However, their excitement was cut short when they realized this was the first time they had been asked to attend, though their show first aired in 2005. “What an honor it is to be here at the 75th Emmy Awards,” Kaitlin Olson said while standing next to her co-stars, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Danny DeVito and Rob McElhenney (also her husband). “Yes, it truly is … wait, what?” Howerton, 47, cut in, realizing what Olson, 48, said. “75 years?
The show has been on for 75 years?”“We’ve been on the air since 2005,” Howerton jokingly noted. “I’ve never even been here.”“Yeah, hang on,” Day, 47, interjected. ” Have you guys been doing this every single year without us?” “They do,” McElhenney, 46, stated. “They get dressed up and give each other awards.” “Yeah, 16 seasons … we’ve never presented before,” he continued.
The group then turned to DeVito and asked him if he had ever been nominated for the prestigious award.“Yeah, they did, they did.” DeVito, 79, responded. “Yeah, yeah I got one.” When asked if it was for the hit FX show, the “Matilda” actor explained that it was actually for his 1978 hit “Taxi.”“Well, how long was ‘Taxi’ on?” Howerton asked.
