“Well, my first Maisel Emmy was stolen by my parents,” three-time Emmy winner Alex Borstein tells AD. “They have it proudly displayed in their home as part of a makeshift shrine that they erected in my honor. It looks a bit like a roadside memorial, as if I passed in that precise location—God help you if you should visit because they will force you to stand in front of it and really ‘take it all in.’ I keep the other two Emmys perched high atop my stairwell, displayed in little cubbies next to each character’s respective hat: a gold top hat like the one worn by Lois Griffin during the opening theme of every episode of Family Guy, and the Greek fisherman’s cap worn by Susie Myerson. I like that they are up there, safe and sound above my beloved books, on display like a nice vase or a beautiful sculpture. Reminders of some great moments in my life so far.”
Tony Hale
Between Veep star Tony Hale, his wife, Emmy-winning makeup artist Martel Thompson, and their daughter, there’s no shortage of honors to display at home. “We put them in the kitchen on either side of one our daughter’s old school awards. Her awards are just as important as ours!”
Kristin Chenoweth
“I keep my Emmy at the Kristin Chenoweth Theater in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, my hometown,” Broadway legend Kristin Chenoweth, who nabbed an Emmy for her role in Pushing Daisies in 2009, tells AD. “I display it there in hopes to inspire younger generations that come see the shows there. I want them to know [that] no matter where you come from, with hard work, you can make it happen. Not always in the form of an award, of course. But mainly, the arts have the power to change lives! What we do MATTERS!”
