Brad Pitt received an Emmy nomination for playing Dr. Anthony Fauci on 'SNL,' 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Station 19' promoted three actors to series regulars and Phillipa Soo on that much-debated gasp her character lets out at the end of 'Hamilton.'
00:00Here are today's top stories. First, after Brad Pitt received an Emmy nomination for playing Dr. Anthony Fauci on Saturday Night Live, the doctor is sharing how he feels about it.
00:08He told the Associated Press, it's somewhat surrealistic. But the White House novel coronavirus pandemic advisor added, I don't get distracted by that.
00:16I really have to focus like a laser beam on the things that I'm responsible for.
00:19He also said, it doesn't go to my head because I don't pay much attention to it.
00:23Grey's Anatomy just promoted three actors to series regulars for their upcoming seasons on ABC.
00:28Grey's has promoted Richard Flood and Anthony Hill to series regulars, while recurring star Stefania Spampinato will transition to a full-time role from the flagship drama series to its firefighter-focused spin-off, Station 19.
00:40You know, I hope we can start over.
00:45Sure.
00:47Flood joined Grey's in season 16 in a recurring role as Dr. Cormac Hayes. The character is considered Meredith Grey's next major love interest.
00:54Hill guest-starred last season as Dr. Winston Ndugu, a man from Maggie's past.
00:59Winston is considered Maggie's central love interest, heading into season 17.
01:03Meanwhile, Spampinato started recurring on Grey's as Andrew DeLuca's sister, Karina, back in season 14.
01:09Last season, she recurred on Station 19, where she began dating character Maya Bishop.
01:13And Hamilton star Philippa Su is finally shedding some light on that much-debated gasp her character lets out at the conclusion of the Broadway show,
01:20revealing it is, in fact, breaking the fourth wall. THR's Neha Joy has more.
01:25With Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical landing on Disney Plus earlier this month, debate over Eliza Hamilton's final moment was reignited.
01:33And Sue talked about the moment when she visited SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show on Wednesday.
01:37I would not be able to tell you what I was thinking precisely in that 2016 moment when it was shot.
01:42Night to night, it was different.
01:43But yes, the character of Eliza sees Hamilton, or sees that legacy, or sees that orphanage, or sees her kids telling her story.
01:50It was an exploration for me every day because you do a show eight times a week for a year,
01:55and you find new things every single time.
