Emmy Duo Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney on Their ‘Hacks’ and ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ Nominations — and How His ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Cameo Was Cut

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large For the first time at the Emmy Awards, married actors and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” co-stars Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney are both nominees at the same time.

Three-time nominee Olson, once again in guest comedy actress for playing Deborah Vance’s daughter DJ on HBO/Max’s “Hacks,” and twice-nominated McElhenney as one of the executive producers of FX’s “Welcome to Wrexham,” earning another nod for unstructured reality program. “It’s exciting,” McElhenney tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast, which got the duo together to talk about their busy schedules. “We’ve had a bit of a dearth of awards in the McElhenney-Olsen house.

So it feels good to be recognized by the community.” Of course, McElhenney enjoys mentioning that only he and “Wrexham” have come home with a statue so far, via the previous Emmy ceremony in January. “I was considering putting mine on the nightstand at the house,” he quips, “just to remind my bride.

Or maybe make it into a lamp so that she can see it as she comes into the room.” For the podcast, McElhenney visited the Variety studios, while Olson — taking a break while shooting her new ABC series “High Potential” — got on Zoom to join in.
