“Saturday Night Live” has dominated the guest Emmy categories since the show’s actors were allowed to compete in the comedy races nine years ago. And according to our predictions, that’s not going to end this year: “SNL” alums Tina Fey and Bill Hader are the favorites to take home Best Comedy Guest Actress and Best Comedy Guest Actor, respectively, which would be the third time the show has swept both in the same year.

It went two-for-two again last year with victories for Melissa McCarthy, on the strength of her Sean Spicer impersonation, and Dave Chappelle, a surprise winner over the likes of eternal Emmy bridesmaid Hugh Laurie (“Veep”) and fellow “SNL” hosts Tom Hanks and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
