New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson is stepping in front of the camera, guest starring on Law & Order: SVU this November alongside his real-life friend Mariska Hargitay, NBC has confirmed.
Mariska Hargitay opened the 2026 Emmys with jokes about TV screens, penis punchlines and a Nicole Kidman AMC-ad parody, prompting LA Times columnists to call it TV's oddest opening monologue in years, even as they praised her over last year's widely mocked host.
Taylor Swift turned up on the Emmys broadcast in a pre-taped Law & Order: SVU parody with host Mariska Hargitay, cracking the case of her own no-show before watching the Chiefs-Broncos game with Tom Cruise.
