No other show has been nominated for as many Emmy Awards as “Saturday Night Live.”
Following its most successful season in more than two decades, “Saturday Night Live” secured 22 Emmy nominations on Thursday, the most in its decades-long history.
Only “Westworld” received as many nominations this year, followed by “Stranger Things” and “FEUD: Bette and Joan,” which each nabbed 18. “Veep” earned 17 nominations.
The NBC variety show transformed into something more over the course of its 42nd season, as millions of liberal-minded people across the country looked to Lorne Michaels and his cast to help make sense of the country’s election of President Donald Trump.
