News summary

Alex Edelman won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for his comedy show 'Just For Us,' which addresses contemporary antisemitism and Jewish identity through his experiences attending a white supremacist meeting. The award follows the show's successful transition from Broadway to HBO and Max, where it premiered in April 2024. Edelman, who previously won a Special Tony Award for the same project in June, expressed gratitude in his acceptance speech, paying tribute to his late collaborator Adam Brace. He noted that performing the show after Brace's passing felt like reciting Kaddish, a Jewish mourning prayer. The Emmy victory adds to Edelman's accolades, as he continues to address pressing social issues through comedy amidst rising antisemitism in the U.S. and the recent Israel-Hamas conflict.
