“This is just an extra, incredibly great little treat,” admits Matthew Broderick of his recent Emmy nomination for the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building.” The thespian is nominated in the Comedy Guest Actor category for his meta appearance in the episode titled “Cobro.” It’s Broderick’s second time at the Emmys, having scored his first bid exactly 30 years ago for a screen adaptation of “A Life in the Theatre.” It seems appropriate that this Broadway veteran would be honored once more for a theater-themed story. “I had such a good part that John Hoffman gave me,” says Broderick, referencing the series’ creator, “and I was working with people I knew mostly and who I love, and I had such a good time doing it.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
