While hosting the 76th annual Emmy nominations announcements live with Veep alum Tony Hale, Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph received some incredible news.

Hale welcomed Television Academy chair Cris Abrego to the livestreamed event Wednesday morning, where he revealed that Ralph received a 2024 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Barbara Howard on the hit ABC sitcom.

To celebrate her third Emmy nom — that includes one Daytime Emmy nomination — an elated Ralph danced live on stage to the enjoyment of everyone watching in the room and at home.

"Before I do this category, I actually have something else really exciting to do — to share some news for you, Sheryl," Abrego said. "You have been nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, your third nomination. Well earned! Well deserved! Congratulations!"

"Oh yes! Oh yes!" she exclaimed while whirling her fist in the air, doing a little dance, and then fist-bumping Abrego. "Honey, that never gets old! Never gets old!"

Watch the moment starting at the 18:38 mark of the Emmys announcement livestream above.

Ralph joins Carol Burnett (Palm Royale), Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Meryl Streep (Only Murders in the Building), and her fellow Abbott Elementary costar Janelle James in the Supporting Actress, Comedy category.

Also known for her turns in Broadway's Dreamgirls, the sitcom Moesha, and the film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, Ralph won her first career Emmy Award in 2022 for her Abbott Elementary role, which left her belting lyrics to the Dianna Reeves song "Endangered Species" during her acceptance speech.

"I've been singing that song for years because I think of myself as an artist," Ralph said. "As a woman, especially as a woman of color, I'm an endangered species. But I don't sing any victim song. I'm a woman. I'm an artist. And I know where my voice belongs. There are so many young actors, artists, even kids that think they know what they're going to do in life. Find your voice and put it where it belongs."
