Meryl Streep had the best reaction when she was compared to a model.

The devil wears Prada, not a jockstrap.

Meryl Streep She was unexpectedly the subject of a cheeky joke at the 2024 Emmy Awards on September 15, and she took it seriously.

When is Always Sunny in Philadelphia Participating stars Caitlin Olson and Rob McElhenneyWhen the married couple took the stage to present the Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series — for which Streep, 75, was nominated — they began talking about what the category means.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re here to honor the comedy acts who keep everything in place,” McElhinney began. “They provide crucial support when it’s really needed.”

“It looks a lot like a jockstrap,” Olson said with a blank face. “What you were describing sounds a lot like a jockstrap.”

Her husband feigned ignorance in response before succumbing to the comparison, saying, “No, that’s not true! … These roles ensure that everything stays secure, and without that support the whole package falls apart… Well, that sounds like a jockstrap.”
