It’s gonna take a hell of an effort for anyone to overshadow Phoebe Waller-Bridge at this year’s Emmy, after the Fleabag marvel picked up writing AND acting Emmys for the series within the space of just 30 minutes at the start of the show, as well as the gong for Outstanding Comedy Series for the show. But if fans – and, honestly, us – have their way, PWB’s next gig will come in conjunction with her fellow-Emmy presenter, Bill Hader.

Hader and Waller-Bridge presented the Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series Emmy, after they each picked up Best Actor/Actress in a Comedy awards for their work in Barry and Fleabag respectively.
But the mere sight of the pair of them standing side-by-side has sent everyone’s dang heart a-flutter, and the demands for a romcom or a buddy movie or bloody anything at all with the two of them in it have been rolling in thick and fast.

Okay now let Phoebe Waller-Bridge write a super witty and sneakily devastating romcom that she co-stars in with Bill Hader.

I would be happy with Bill Hader and Phoebe Waller-Bridge being the hosts, and giving every other acceptance speech. #Emmys2019

Seriously, anything at all. Book it now, Hollywood. Sign them up to the project immediately. Figure out exactly what the project is later. Just get the damned deal done.
I mean, if they can make trite awards show gags sound this good…

…then what the hell are we waiting for.
“A limited series is a TV show that was cancelled.”
Yes sir. Very good thanks. I’ll take ten of whatever they’re selling immediately.
