Elon Musk was one of the most controversial “Saturday Night Live” hosts in recent memory. But as it turns out, the billionaire entrepreneur won’t be winning any awards for his guest gig because NBC opted not to submit him for the 2021 Emmys.
When the Emmy ballots were unveiled on June 17, Musk’s name was nowhere to be found, which means Television Academy members cannot vote for him to receive a nomination. However, nine of his fellow “SNL” hosts were entered for awards consideration in the comedy guest categories: Dave Chappelle, Daniel Kaluuya, Dan Levy, John Mulaney, Rege-Jean Page, Chris Rock, Maya Rudolph, Anya Taylor-Joy and Kristen Wiig. In addition, Alec Baldwin and Jim Carrey have been submitted as guests for playing Donald Trump and Joe Biden, respectively.
