Ike Barinholtz has an important message for his biggest fans.
Though The Studio star, up for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards, and his wife Erica Hanson were having a glamorous night out at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Calif., on Jan. 4, he made it clear their three daughters were with them in spirit.
“We need to say hi to my daughters who are definitely watching at home,” Ike told Keltie Knight on Live From E!: Critics Choice Awards before directly addressing Foster, 11, Payton, 8, and their 6-year-old, whose name they haven’t shared. “Listen to your grandparents and save some cookies for your mom and dad for when they come home, please.”
And though Ike’s future may include after-party cookies at home after the Chelsea Handler-hosted ceremony, until then he’s celebrating a major year for The Studio. After all, his costar Seth Rogen is up for Best Actor in a Comedy and the Apple TV show earned a Best Comedy nod at the CCAs.
But while the awards run has been fun for the cast, which also includes Catherine O’Hara, Chase Sui Wonders and Kathryn Hahn, as Ike put it to E! on the red carpet at the Emmys in September, "the real winning is getting to do more episodes."
Given season one boasted some major guests like Martin Scorsese, Dave Franco, Zoë Kravitz and Ron Howard all playing versions of themselves, The Mindy Project alum is still marveling at their hit show came together.
"That's surreal, I still don't believe that happened," he shared. "I think that was a dream I had. I've known Seth forever and he's such a great guy, and I get to do this show with my friends, and every once in a while, people like Martin Scorsese show up. It's wild."
And though fans won’t get to see The Studio back on their screens just yet, they can catch up with the stars at the Critics Choice Awards on E! and USA Network.
For all the celebrities who graced the red carpet ahead of the ceremony, keep reading…
