The "Squid Game" love continues.
One of its stars, Lee Jung-jae, won the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a drama series, becoming the first South Korean performer to win an Emmy in the category.
He thanked God, Netflix and his "Squid Game" colleagues.
The horror series about a group of people deeply in debt who compete for large cash prizes — but risk death in the process — was a huge hit for the streaming giant and sparked interest in Korean content.

"Ted Lasso" director MJ Delaney took home the Emmy for her work on the comedy series.
She made sure to thank star Jason Sudeikis and others, but kept it brief.
"There are so many people that I should thank, but it's really boring when non-famous people do this," she said which elicited a huge laugh from Sudeikis. "So I will just say I can't think of a more fun group to go to work with every day. I love you."

"Thank you for a second time honoring our show," is how Jean Smart started off her acceptance speech for winning in the lead actress category for her role on "Hacks."
It was her second win as she won last year in that same category.
She made the audience chuckle when she gave a shout out for her botox because, as she said, she lost a bet.

It's one of the most coveted categories of the entire show — outstanding lead actress in a drama series.
Kelly Clarkson presented the award to Zendaya for her role as Ruby "Rue" Bennett on the hit HBO series "Euphoria."
"Euphoria" is one of the hottest and most talked about shows on television.
"My greatest wish for Euphoria is that it could help heal people, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shared their story with me," Zendaya said on stage. "I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue, feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know that I'm so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her."
The show was picked up for a third season in February.

Will Arnett dragged a pretend dead Jimmy Kimmel out on stage and he continued to play dead as Quinta Brunson took the stage to accept her Emmy for outstanding writing for a comedy series.
Brunson, the creator and star of "Abbott Elementary," thanked her cast and crew on the show along with Larry Wilmore, who she credited with teaching her how to write for television.
She thanked her husband ... and Kimmel, who continued to lay on the stage.

Jason Sudeikis took the stage to say thank you to his parents, his incredible cast on "Ted Lasso," and the people who watch and "dig it" as much as he digs making it.
Before taking the stage he hugged fellow former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Bill Hader, who was also nominated for "Barry."

Yes, it started as a bit about an honorary bartender — but then we started craving a "Good Burger."
That's because we were treated to a mini "Kenan & Kel" reunion when to Kel Mitchell popped up in a skit at the Emmy awards alongside host Kenan Thompson.
We loved their Nickelodeon sitcom which ran from from 1996 to 2000. Their "Good Burger" comedy film was released in 1997.
Can we please get a sequel to that movie — or at the very least an "All That" revival?
