LOS ANGELES — Emmys executive producer Jesse Collins and director Alex Rudzinski are giving “Good Morning America” a first look at what is in store for viewers on television’s biggest night.
“I just know there will be TV moments people will remember forever,” said Collins. “We were able to get Ron Howard and Henry Winkler to come in. We’re going to build some sets.”

Rudzinski added they’ll be “back onstage together in the ‘Happy Days’ diner setup.”
The two say the plan is to gather beloved TV characters together, grouped by onscreen occupations.
“We’re gonna have this great coaches moment led by Jane Lynch, who was an amazing coach on ‘Glee,’ and it’s tied to an amazing surprise,” Collins said.
Rudzinski shared that another grouping will be TV cops, including Don Johnson.

One moment the powerhouse team promises will be the best year is the In Memoriam, performed by Jelly Roll.
