Giuliana Rancic and Emilia Clarke at the Emmys

The Emmys celebrate outstanding achievements in television, drawing a constellation of stars each year. And something memorable unfolded between Giuliana Rancic, a well-known E! News host and red carpet interviewer, and Emilia Clarke, famed for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in “Game of Thrones” at the 2016 edition of the event.

Giuliana was trying to conclude her interview with Emilia to speak with Heidi Klum, but Emilia seemed reluctant to wrap up, leading to a slightly awkward exchange on live television. Seeing as they’re both professionals, they navigated the moment with smiles, yet it stood out as a quirky instance of live TV unpredictability.
