Is it going to be déjà vu in the comedy guest acting Emmy races? “Saturday Night Live” won both categories last year and our early odds are forecasting another “SNL” sweep in September with victories for Tiffany Haddish and Bill Hader.
Should that come to pass, this would be the third time “SNL” has swept both categories in the same year. The first was in 2009 — the first year “SNL” hosts were eligible in the guest races — when Timberlake and Tina Fey prevailed. Last year, Melissa McCarthy and Dave Chappelle grabbed gold during “SNL”‘s renaissance year; the former’s win was expected, thanks to her legendary Sean Spicer impersonation, but Chappelle stunned fellow “SNL” hosts Tom Hanks and Lin-Manuel Miranda, and eternal Emmy bridesmaid Hugh Laurie (“Veep”).
