The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards took place tonight at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles. Host Mariska Hargitay kicked off the show with a parody of "I Love Rock ’n’ Roll," renamed "I Love TV Screens," featuring cameos from Jalen Brunson, Jeff Hiller, Jean Smart, and Jennifer Coolidge. Notably, Hargitay reunited with Taylor Swift for a pre-taped sketch, which parodied Swifties searching for hidden Easter eggs in her music and videos.
The segment set the stage for a Pepe Silvia scene, questioning whether Swift would attend tonight's ceremony.

During the In Memoriam segment honoring TV industry figures who had passed away in the previous year, Noah Kahan paid tribute to Simon & Garfunkel by covering their classic song, "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
