Mariska Hargitay’s Knicks-themed “Emmys” cold open features a surprise appearance by New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, as reported by multiple outlets. Hargitay, a longtime Knicks fan, brings her basketball fandom to the televised event’s comedic segment.
Both sources describe the same basic moment: Brunson “crashes” the cold open alongside Hargitay’s Emmys bit. The reporting is limited to this premise and does not add further details such as the full sketch content, timing within the program, or additional participants. In both write-ups, the focus remains on the cross-over between Hargitay’s celebrity presence at the Emmys and Brunson’s link to New York sports, particularly the Knicks.
