John Turturro (‘Severance’): Emmys 2022 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that John Turturro is entering the “Severance” episode “Defiant Jazz” as his 2022 Emmy Award submission for Best Drama Supporting Actor. This program streamed on March 25 and was the seventh episode of the Apple TV+ drama’s first season.

In this installment, Mark (Adam Scott) and the team come face-to-face with new security measures that have been put in place from Cobel (Patricia Arquette). Irving (Turturro) departs to O&D, worried about Burt’s (Christopher Walken) safety. Upon arrival, he discovers that Burt is retiring, and openly berates the non-severed Milchick (Tramell Tillman) for exploiting the severed employees.
