Pop culture may never know another embarrassment of riches quite like having three different Kaitlin Olson TV characters to look forward to in a single year, but my goodness, everyone who has watched the trifecta of High Potential, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Hacks can attest to these splendors. Speaking of the latter, her ever-hilarious performance as DJ Vance was once again championed when the 2026 Emmy nominations were announced, as she landed her third Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series nom.
This latest recognition marks Olson’s fourth Emmy nomination overall, though she has yet to secure a win. (Presumably due to otherworldly and purely evil forces, or perhaps just catastrophic human foible.) Fans know she’s more than worthy, however, which is partially why High Potential is one of the most-watched scripted shows to hit the 2026 TV schedule, even if the Emmy voters aren’t caught up yet.
