'This Is Us’ Milo Ventimiglia, plus the cast of Yellowjackets and its Best Drama chances

As This Is Us wraps up its six-season run, we chat with star Milo Ventimiglia, who has lead the series as patriarch Jack Pearson. He tells us about the photo he keeps nearby of his own father as a touchstone for his performance, and more. Plus, the cast of Showtime’s breakout drama Yellowjackets — Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Liv Hewson, and Samantha Hanratty — break down some of the show’s wildest twists and fan theories. EW Sr. Writer joins Awardist podcast host Gerrad Hall to discuss the show’s chances of a Best Drama nomination, and specifically star Lynskey and her incredible career. We also talk about whether Yellowstone can go this distance for its fourth season. And Samantha gives us her pick for the show she thinks should be getting more Emmys attention.
