Reese's Tease

Though she insisted she couldn't give anything away about season 3 of The Morning Show,Reese Witherspoon did talk about Jon Hamm joining the cast of the hit drama. 

"It's really juicy and good. There are lots of new characters," she told ET's Matt Cohen, adding of Hamm joining the cast, "It's so seamless, he just walks on. He's playing this amazing character that I can't wait for people to see because it pulls from life a little bit."

Football is life! It was a big night for the cast of Ted Lasso as they took home four Emmys and planned to celebrate accordingly. 

"They certainly could drink me under the table," Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, told ET's Denny Directo of his female co-stars. And of his co-star, Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent), he gushed, "I'm just hanging onto his coattails whilst he's doing his thing."

Nick Mohammed (Nathan Shelley) admitted he was surprised by the Outstanding Comedy Series win. 

"I thought Hacks was going to get it or Only Murders [In the Building]," he shared with ET. "Honestly, all those shows are so great. I'm just a fan of them, we feel very lucky."

Both Mohammed and Cristo Fernández (Dani Rojas) insisted that the upcoming season 3 would be the show's best. 

"Hand on heart, I genuinely think it will be the best season," Mohammed said, with Fernández adding, "I'm looking forward to showing the season 3. I love it. I personally think it's the best one. All the writers are geniuses. There's going to be lots of football, lots of comedic moments. All the characters are going to have really interesting journeys." 

Disney Emmys After-Party

Teacher's Night Out

It was a big night for the cast of Abbott Elementary, which took home a total of three Emmys for its debut season. 

"It feels so much better than you think it feels! When I heard them say my name, it wasn't that I didn't believe it, but I didn't believe it," winner Sheryl Lee Ralph told ET's Matt Cohen. 

In addition to celebrating their wins, the cast also reacted to the viral moment where the show's creator Quinta Brunson was forced to accept her first Emmy as comedian Jimmy Kimmel lay on the stage at her feet. 

"I actually have to do Kimmel the night we premiere and we're going to have to talk about that," Brunson's co-star, Tyler James Williams, told ET laughing. "The commitment to the bit, I can really appreciate. I really get it. He just came out and said nothing, but only Jimmy Kimmel can do that." 

Kimmel also spoke with ET about his admiration for Brunson at the after-party. 

"She is so unbelievably talented, and I saw her pilot before it came out on ABC. I wrote to her, and I was like, 'I don't know how we got this, but congratulations. You made a pilot that any network would be ecstatic to get,'" Kimmel recalled, adding, "She's a lovely person as well."

Winner's Glow

When she spoke to ET at the after-party, Amanda Seyfried was still reeling from her win for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout. 

"It feels really incredible. It's surreal, and I'm super sober," Seyfried told ET's Matt Cohen of her big win. "My daughter stayed awake and cried because she was confused about how I was able to talk to her through the TV... I hate that she was emotional, but I also think it was just an exciting night because they were all together, my whole family." 

She added that she was excited to have her husband, Thomas Sadoski, with her for the win. 

"He has a premiere tonight in Toronto and he missed it for this," Seyfried told ET with a grin. 

The Internet's Boyfriend

The Bear's Jeremy Allen White attended the annual awards show as a presenter, and spoke to ET's Matt Cohen about his new title as "The Internet's Boyfriend." 

"I've heard about it," he admitted. "I have a pretty nice, healthy distance. I have Instagram, I don't have Twitter. I don't pay too much attention. But it's flattering, it's very nice."
