The 2026 Emmys air live tonight at 8 p.m. ET from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, and yes, that's a Monday — E! Online explains the unusual scheduling shift. Mariska Hargitay hosts TV's biggest night. But the moment everyone will be talking about tomorrow? Reba McEntire's tribute to the late Dolly Parton.
McEntire will perform a special tribute to Parton during the ceremony, per Soap Central, with Noah Kahan singing during the in memoriam segment. Expect a room full of A-listers reaching for tissues. Tonight's telecast is appointment viewing -- a rare Monday airdate, and an emotional send-off for a country legend.
