Olympians join TV "coaches" for a little break in the action

 The Emmys went for the gold Sunday night.

Jane Lynch and Brendan Hunt — who played coaches on “Glee” and “Ted Lasso,” respectively — presented the best directing for a drama award and had some fun while they were at it, appearing in a locker room set and cracking some jokes.

Lynch, who also played Sue Sylvester on “Glee,” teased Hunt that his role as Coach Beard on “Ted Lasso” was just an assistant coach, while she was a head coach.

They were joined on stage by several Olympic athletes, including Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, who captured hearts this summer as the “Clark Kent” of pommel horse.
