Two of the most celebrated shows in Emmy history are set to experience a weird awards season.
Saturday Night Live, which has won more Emmys than any other show in television history, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which has won in its category eight years in a row, could both face the indignity of not being officially nominated for an Emmy as a result of submission rules.

This is in contrast with last year’s 12 submissions, which included a number of shows that have subsequently been canceled including HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, which was nominated, and Random Acts of Flyness, Paramount+’s Inside Amy Schumer and Crank Yankers, Comedy Central’s Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News and Showtime’s Ziwe.
SNL, which has received over 300 nominations and secured 84 wins, and Last Week Tonight, which has over 60 nominations and 28 wins, are now heading towards a juried selection, with entries that received approval from 90% of the group receiving a nomination.
