"SNL" cast members playfully jab creator Lorne Michaels for being an Emmys "loser"
While presenting the award for writing for a variety special, “Saturday Night Live” vets Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig, Bowen Yang and Seth Meyers took the opportunity to poke fun at their current and former boss, “Saturday Night Live” creator Lorne Michaels.
Wiig joked that Michaels has “lost the Emmy” over 80 times. “You do have value. You are worthy and you are not, and have never been a loser, even though you have lost a lot,” Wiig joked, speaking directly to Michaels in the audience.
Rudolph went on to joke that he was “robbed” every single time he lost, while Yang playfully kept pronouncing his last name wrong.
Meyers pointed out that “SNL” has won many Emmys, with the long-running sketch comedy series earning over 300 nods with 90 wins.
“I can’t believe that you’re complaining about this Lorne,” Rudolph said. “Not to be rude but, grow up!”
Michaels has won 21 Emmys.
