It’s time for the TV-industry folks to start deciding who should be nominated for an Emmy. The nominating process began on Monday and runs through June 26, with the nominations to be announced on July 13. During this time, all the networks mount campaigns to remind voters of the possibilities (best of luck to you, Scorpion!).

On Wednesday’s Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon did his thing and invited guest Riz Ahmed to play a game. The game was a Star Wars-themed version of the freestyle rapping game Wheel of Freestyle, which worked out well because Ahmed is in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and he’s also a rapper: Riz MC.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story co-star Riz Ahmed was on the Tonight Show and told Jimmy Fallon about how his trademark nervous intensity almost cost him the role of Bodhi Rook.
