## Emmy stars play pass the mic
Chris Perfetti, Richard Gadd, Joy Taylor, Krys Marshall, and other celebrities answered rapid-fire questions on the 2026 Emmys red carpet, passing each question to the next person.
## Which TV role would you steal?
Richard Gadd kicked off by asking which role someone else played this year they'd most like to play themselves. Joy Taylor said she admires Matthew Rhys but doesn't think she could be him.

> I really love Matthew Rhys, but I don't know that I could be him.
## Dream classic TV show?
When asked which past television series they'd want to join, Krys Marshall picked Gilligan's Island, imagining herself as Marianne in a crop top and shorts.

> 'Gilligan's Island' in a little top tie up with a little booty shorts, like Marianne.
## Working with legends no longer here
Chris Perfetti said he'd want to work with Tim Curry, calling him an icon and expressing deep admiration for the late actor.

> Our boy Tim Curry, who I loved so much, such an icon.
## Silly snack and superpower picks
Jeff Hiller chose Nutty Buddy as his snack alter ego without explanation. Geran Howell picked flight as his superpower and expressed suspicion about people who want invisibility.

> I think it's got to be flight. I'm always suspicious if people say "I want to be invisible."
## Key takeaway

The pass the mic game reveals what TV roles stars covet, which classic shows they'd join, and their unexpected answers to silly questions.
