2023 Emmys: Most Jaw-Dropping Fashion!
As Rob McElhenney's beloved hometown NFL team played a playoffs game during television's biggest night, he chose to multitask.
Just minutes after the 2023 Emmys kicked off Jan. 15, the Welcome to Wrexham star tweeted a selfie of himself watching live coverage of the start of the Philadelphia Eagles-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on his phone from his seat inside the event at L.A. Live's Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
"Who schedules the Emmys the same night as the @eagles," the Philadelphia native captioned the pic, which shows him sitting next to his wife, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia costar Kaitlin Olson. "#gobirds #FlyEaglesFly."
Both Rob and Kaitlin are longtime fans of the Eagles. (Last November, they even made guest appearances on center Jason Kelce and his brother and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights.) But naturally, the actor was unable to watch the entire playoffs game—which the Bucs ended up winning 32-9—at the Emmys.

In fact, an hour after the ceremony began, in the middle of the second quarter of the NFL game, the actor got up to join Kaitlin and their It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia costars Danny DeVito, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton onstage to present the Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Series to The Daily Show With Trevor Noah.
