The Hollywood Reporter’s Off Script roundtable series received its first Daytime Emmy Award at the 2026 Daytime Emmys, competing in the arts and popular culture category. The series had previously earned three consecutive nominations in the same category and six total Daytime Emmy nominations dating back to 2017.
Off Script prevailed against four other nominees: Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood: An Entertainment Tonight Special, Variety & CNN Actors on Actors, Variety Studio: Actors on Actors, and Working in the Theatre. The series, which has aired on IFC and streamed on AMC+ over the past three years, features five episodes showcasing Emmy contenders across drama actress, drama actor, comedy actress, comedy actor, and stand-up comedy categories.
Executive producer Elisabeth D. Rabishaw accepted the award on behalf of The Hollywood Reporter. She acknowledged the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and expressed gratitude to fellow nominees, while also recognizing former AMC Networks executive Blake Callaway, who greenlit the series, and AMC Networks staff who contributed to the project. Past appearances on the series have included notable entertainment figures such as Seth Rogen, Helen Mirren, Keri Russell, Ted Danson, and Jamie Foxx.
Moderated by The Hollywood Reporter’s Lacey Rose and Mikey O’Connell, the series is characterized by its roundtable format featuring candid industry conversations. The publication has expanded the concept beyond Emmy season coverage to include Oscar season roundtables and episodes featuring podcasters and Broadway actors. The award represents one of several recent accolades for The Hollywood Reporter, which received 96 nominations at the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards earlier this week.
