At the 2024 Emmy Awards, Saturday Night Live alumni Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Seth Meyers, and Bowen Yang humorously honored SNL creator Lorne Michaels, who has been nominated for an Emmy 85 times without a win. The stars, presenting the award for Writing for a Variety Special, took turns playfully roasting Michaels, insisting that his numerous losses didn't reflect his worth. Wiig reassured him that he is 'not and has never been a loser,' while Rudolph and Yang claimed he was 'robbed' each time. Meyers pointed out that Michaels has actually won 21 Emmys, and SNL itself boasts over 200 wins. This tribute comes as SNL prepares to launch its 50th season, with a special celebration planned. The evening also saw SNL lose the Emmy for Scripted Variety Series to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
