Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, beloved Saturday Night Live alums and close friends, joined forces once again for a special edition of Weekend Update at the 75th Emmy Awards. Instead of roasting the celebrities in attendance, the dynamic duo revived their iconic SNL segment to present the Emmy for Variety Special (Live). Fey humorously acknowledged that they had reached a stage in life where they would only present awards while sitting down. Seated behind the classic Weekend Update desk, they announced the nominees with their signature sass and clever self-deprecation.
The ultimate winner of the Emmy was Elton John: Live from Dodgers Stadium, marking a significant milestone for the legendary Sir Elton John as he achieved EGOT status. However, comedy enthusiasts were the true winners of the night, as they were treated to the comedic brilliance of two of the industry’s finest. It’s a reminder of a time when live awards shows were filled with memorable quips and laughter.
