“I’ve unleashed the beast in [Spector], and I really love that,” Alan told Out magazine. “The outfits are so nuts and have become such a part of the fabric of the show.”

Something of a Taylor Swift–The Traitors crossover is on the way. No, the Grammy winner isn’t set to appear on the popular reality series. However, fans might get déjà vu when new episodes return.

At the 2024 Emmy Awards on Sept. 15, 2024, Cumming revealed Swift’s choice of attire for the VMAs, which took place on Sept. 11, 2024, provided something of a sneak peek at what’s to come for his wardrobe on The Traitors.

The Traitors host reacted to winning Outstanding Host for a Reality or Competition Program, sharing an acceptance speech along with some late night shirtless selfies of his “Emmy winning look” in bed, where he was first alerted to his big win.

“A series of selfies taken at 3.38am just after waking up to find I had won an Emmy!” Cumming captioned the post. “In my dream I was thinking I had set my alarm too early and I should really wake up and change it to an hour later, and of course the reason I was dreaming this is that my phone had been buzzing constantly for about twenty minutes with people trying to tell me I had won the Emmy for hosting The Traitors!

Toni Ireland doesn’t mince words when it comes to describing how she feels about Alan Cumming and his abilities as host of “The Traitors” on Peacock. “I mean, how perfect is he? He’s just the dream person to work with.” The show’s executive producer reveals that Cumming immediately understood what they were going for with the program. “He understood the kind of character that we wanted him to play. He was completely up for it. Obviously he’s Scottish, which is fantastic. He’s an actor, which leans into this incredible role and the scripts are purposefully sort of Shakespearean in quality and he delivers it so brilliantly,” she tells Gold Derby during our recent Meet the Experts: Reality & Nonfiction TV panel (watch the exclusive video interview here).

Alan Cumming isn’t much of a reality TV fan — so as host of Peacock’s “The Traitors,” he enjoys being a bit blind to the baggage that many of the contestants carry to the Scottish Highlands.

“When I go to do ‘The Traitors, I have a crash course in reality TV stars, and random people,” he tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I don’t know who many of the people are. Because I just don’t watch those shows. And actually I quite like it, just to meet the people on those their own terms — rather than that with all the history they bring.”

Cumming much prefers watching them plot and scheme inside the game of “The Traitors,” vs whatever it is they do on the “Real Housewives” and its ilk. “I think that the culture of these shows is very much about creating drama,” he says. “The structures are the same,...
