variety.comMarc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Even though Mark Duplass is up for an Emmy on Sunday for his work as Chip on “The Morning Show,” he admits he’s not preparing an acceptance speech ahead of the big night. “But I do have a tuxedo,” he told me Friday night at the Television Academy’s Performer Nominee Celebration at the Wallis in Beverly Hills. “I’m excited about my tuxedo.” Then he cracked, “Have you see ‘Dumb and Dumber?’” Duplass, who has never been shy about talking about his mental health issues, also revealed his Emmy morning plans to alleviate potential social anxiety he may experience at the awards show. “I’ll go to the gym and work out and try and get my social anxiety jitters out,” he said. “I’m an elliptical guy.
I used to be a runner, but I’m 47 now. Nothing can give you that runners high, but I want to keep my knees. I need my endorphins and the elliptical gives it to me.
I like a four-mile, 36-minute ride with intervals. I can get pretty much get everything I need at that point. Then I go and walk and do my phone calls.
It gets me to about 15,000 steps.” GALLERY: 2024 Emmy Parties in Photos: Sandra Oh, Kaley Cuoco, Hiroyuki Sanada and More Celeb Pics “The Morning Show” is up for 16 nominations, including best actress in a drama series nods for Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.
