“Saturday Night Live” has made a killing in the guest comedy Emmy categories ever since it was allowed to compete there 11 years ago. The show has collected 10 statuettes in that timeframe — five in each category — but none last year. Can it find its way back to the podium in September?
Last year was just one of three years in which “SNL” did not win either comedy guest category; the awards went to “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’s” Jane Lynch and Luke Kirby. 2013 was the first instance, when Melissa Leo (“Louie”) and Bob Newhart (“The Big Bang Theory”) triumphed — the latter winning his long-awaited first Emmy. In 2015, Joan Cusack (“Shameless”) and Bradley Whitford (“Transparent”) were victorious. Cusack lucked out in that she didn’t have to compete against an “SNL” nominee at all.
Here are “SNL’s” guest wins:
2009: Tina Fey, Justin Timberlake
2010: Betty White
2011: Justin Timberlake
