Kristen Wiig and Jon Hamm reunited only two weeks after appearing together on “Saturday Night Live” — Wiig, a regular on the show from 2005 to 2012, joined the Five-Timers Club as the host, and Hamm, her co-star in “Bridesmaids,” appeared as a special guest. The pair had plenty to celebrate: This past season, Wiig starred as a would-be socialite trying to claw her way into the in crowd on Apple TV+’s “Palm Royale.” Hamm also played a gleefully ambitious character for Apple, as an Elon Musk-type billionaire attempting to become a media mogul on the third season of “The Morning Show.” But an even bigger turn came with Noah Hawley’s “Fargo” from FX, where his devious Sheriff Roy Tillman runs roughshod over all those in his way — after making a very memorable entrance. KRISTEN WIIG: What’s up, Hamm? JON HAMM: I have not seen you in forever, even though we just did the show together.
‘Fellow Travelers’ Reveals 23 Emmy Submissions: Stars Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer, Writer Ron Nyswaner’s Pilot and More (EXCLUSIVE)

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Stars Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey set TV screens ablaze in the romantic period drama “Fellow Travelers.” The Showtime miniseries follows two men whose love is intertwined across several decades, spanning wars and political events. Since its debut in October, it has received widespread acclaim.
Revealed exclusively to Variety, the series has been submitted for 23 potential Primetime Emmy nominations across multiple categories. In addition to outstanding limited or anthology series, the pilot episode, penned by Ron Nyswaner and directed by Daniel Minahan, will serve as the official submission in their respective categories.
For his role as Hawk Fuller, a closeted World War II veteran, Bomer is campaigning in the lead actor (limited) category, competing against heavyweights such as Jon Hamm (“Fargo”), Richard Gadd (“Baby Reindeer”) and Andrew Scott (“Ripley”). He was a previous Emmy nominee for playing Felix Turner in the 2014 television movie “The Normal Heart, where he was heavily favored before losing the prize to Martin Freeman for “Sherlock: His Last Vow.” Nonetheless, Bomer could receive his long overdue second nom (and a potential third).
He’s also one of the miniseries’ producers, along with Nyswaner and Minahan; he would be among the official nominees if the show picks up one of the five highly competitive slots for limited series. Bomer has received acting nominations at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice and SAG Awards for his role, increasing his chances of landing double bids.
As Tim, the young, idealistic congressional staffer, Bailey has garnered best-in-show notices for his heartfelt portrayal. He’s currently topping the charts for supporting actor (limited) in Variety’s
