Hacks' Robby Hoffman Reveals She Stormed Out, Was "Stewing" at Creative Arts Emmys After Loss
Hoffman said she assumed she would win and had to present another category after losing to Julianne Nicholson.
- On Tuesday's episode of "The Bald and the Beautiful" podcast, comedian Robby Hoffman confessed she was "the biggest sore loser" after losing Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2025 Creative Arts Emmys.
- Hoffman, who joined "Hacks" in season 4, admitted she felt like a "shoo-in" to win despite competing against "insane" talent including Olivia Colman and Zoë Kravitz.
- After actress Julianne Nicholson's name was called, Hoffman's sister declared, "We don't need this s---," and pushed her out; she later returned due to a contractual obligation to present an award.
- Podcast host and "Drag Race" star Trixie Mattel comforted Hoffman backstage, later joking that the comedian entered the room looking as though "your whole family was murdered."
- Ultimately accepting the outcome with humor, Hoffman emphasized that Nicholson "beyond deserves it" and noted that her 2019 Daytime Emmy for "Odd Squad" helped soften the blow.
