After the ceremony, the musician told reporters that his wife Chrissy Teigen was inspiring him every day – and he would not be surprised to see her leave with some Emmys.
"We inspire each other," he said. "She inspires my songs, she inspires me to want to be a better husband and a better father. We fully support each other in everything we do. I support her in her career and in everything she does. And I expect her to win Emmys herself for all the great work she does. "
