    PATREON SNEAK PEEK: We React to the 2026 Tony Noms (& Snubs)

    Folks! The Tony nominations are here and we have thoughts! We are breaking down this years noms, the snubs that we didn't see coming, we're sharing what we LOVED, what we haven't seen (but want to!), and what (and who) we're rooting for! We are so happy for our girl June Squibb (and former guest of YMKHF) and also for Hannah Cruz (an actor we have long been rooting for from her performance as Rose in her high school production of Gypsy. Yes, actually...watch.) What have you seen? Who are YOU rooting for? What do you still want to see? And which snub hit you hardest? What role do you think Alecia Pink Moore is eyeing and will this hosting gig get her job?

    You Might Know Her From Gilmore Girls, Better Call Saul, Prodigal Son, The First, Shameless, Hair Show, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, 13 Reasons Why, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Keiko gave us all the scoop on playing Lane on Gilmore Girls, how she REALLY felt about where her character ended up, and if she thinks there's more story to tell in Stars Hollow. Plus, improvising with Mo'Nique and Taraji, shadowing Frances McDormand as she finessed Michael Bay, and transitioning to authority figure roles when you're so iconically a "teen" on screen. Keiko was so kind and warm and maybe made Anne and Damian think about improvisation in an ideally way? We loved it!
