In a new interview with Access Hollywood inside his home, he kicked things off by picking up the Emmy Award he won for his role as acting teacher Gene Cousineau on the hit HBO series "Barry" off a coffee table. "Here is my nighttime Emmy," he explained, referencing the fact that he waited over 40 years to receive the award despite a long history in television.

Interviewer Kit Hoover asked him if he keeps the award there all the time, and he jokingly responded, "No, usually if I'm not wearing baby wipes around my neck I'm wearing the Emmy."
