The Emmys and Tituss

A world with no Tituss Burgess in it? Unthinkable, and luckily not likely given his recent Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Filming for season two will start shortly.

In an interview with E! online, Tituss admitted "I was exhausted and ready to hang it up."  Then the series appeared and the rest is history. 

Tituss is one of a number of nominations coming from the series. Co-star Jane Krakowski was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, and both show-creator Tina Fey and end of season guest Jon Hamm are up for Outstanding Guest Actor/Actress in a Comedy Series.  Watching the two of them in the final few episodes was pure fun and brought back memories of their time together on 30 Rock. Wouldn't it be strange if Hamm gets an Emmy for these episodes rather than his superb acting in Mad Man?

Netflix should be thanked for ensuring Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt made it to television after a questionable start. Quality comedy series are hard to find these days.
