Meryl Streep’s Incredible Response to Being Compared to a Jockstrap
The devil wears Prada, not a jockstrap.
Meryl Streep found herself at the center of a playful joke during the 2024 Emmy Awards on Sept. 15, and she handled it gracefully.
During the presentation of the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, where Streep, 75, was a nominee, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia costars Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney took the stage and bantered about the category.
“We are here to celebrate the comedic performances that provide essential support,” McElhenney began. “They keep everything in place when it’s most needed.”
With a straight face, Olson remarked, “Sounds a lot like a jockstrap. What you’re describing is very reminiscent of a jockstrap.”
Her husband initially played dumb but eventually agreed, saying, “No, it’s not! … These roles ensure everything stays intact, without their support, the entire package falls apart… okay, it does sound like a jockstrap.”
