Having been nominated for prestigious awards like the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama and an Emmy for Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Pascal's presence at the Emmys was highly anticipated.

The joke, although lighthearted, left many puzzled due to the lack of context. This incident has sparked curiosity and raised questions about the dynamics between Pascal, Culkin, and the nature of their relationship.
