Description:

The internet is divided over Meryl Streep’s shocked reaction to a jockstrap joke at the 2024 Emmys. The actress, 75, appeared floored Sunday when Rob McElhenney and his wife, Kaitlin Olson, presented the award for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series — for which she received a nomination for her role in “Only Murders in the Building” — at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to honor the comedic performances that hold everything in place. They show crucial support when it’s really needed,” McElhenney, 47, told the star‑starred crowd.

Speaker 1

We are here to honor the comedic performances that hold everything in place.

They show crucial support when it's really needed.

Speaker 2

Mmm, much like a jockstrap.

Speaker 1

Yes, but... No, not like a jockstrap.

Speaker 4

What you were just describing sounds very much like a jockstrap.

Speaker 1

No, it doesn't.

Speaker 4

Okay, keep going.

Speaker 1

These rolls make sure everything stays secure.

Without this support, the whole package falls apart.

All right, this does sound like a jockstrap.

Speaker 3

Yeah, uh, are you calling Meryl Streep a jockstrap?

No!

Speaker 1

No.
