During the award presentation for writing for a variety special at the Emmy Awards, a group of 'Saturday Night Live' veterans including Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Bowen Yang, and Seth Meyers took a lighthearted jab at their current and former boss, 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels.
Wiig humorously mentioned that Michaels has lost the Emmy over 80 times, adding a touch of sarcasm by reassuring him of his value and worth despite the numerous losses. Rudolph joined in by joking that Michaels was 'robbed' each time he didn't win, while Yang playfully mispronounced Michaels' last name.
Meyers highlighted the success of 'SNL' at the Emmys, noting that the iconic sketch comedy show has received over 300 nominations and secured 90 wins over the years. Rudolph, in a playful tone, chided Michaels for complaining about his losses, suggesting he should 'grow up' in a light-hearted manner.
It's worth noting that Lorne Michaels, the recipient of 21 Emmy Awards, has been a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and a driving force behind the success of 'Saturday Night Live.'
