Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman teamed up for a hilarious appearance at the 76th annual Emmy Awards.
The Emmy Awards took place on Sunday, September 15, bringing out some of TV’s biggest stars. Among them were Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman, who presented the award for Outstanding Scripted Variety Show.
Reba arrived at the event in a vibrant, emerald green outfit that shimmered from head to toe, effortlessly blending her country style with an elegant look. Walking beside her down the red carpet, Melissa wore a beautiful lavender gown, channeling the charm of old Hollywood glamour.
Not only did they look fantastic on the red carpet, but McEntire and Peterman also took the stage to present an award— and their skit was just as funny as you would expect from these sitcom legends.
McEntire and Peterman had the entire room laughing instantly as they joked that they didn’t need a teleprompter to remember the nominees for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series, which consisted of only two nominees: Saturday Night Live and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
They even said they would be able to announce the winner with their eyes close, though they obviously snuck a quick look at the envelope to check the winner before revealing it.
