Liz Patrick, who took over directing Saturday Night Live two years ago, has won her first Emmy.
She won for the episode co-hosted by Steve Martin and Martin Short. She beat Last Week Tonight’s Paul Pennolino, Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s Andy Fisher, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s Jim Hoskinson and The Problem with Jon Stewart’s Andre Allen.
Patrick was nominated last year for the Billie Eilish-hosted episode, but lost out to A Black Lady Sketch Show’s Bridget Stokes.
Patrick took over from Don Roy King in January 2022. King, who is thought to have directed more hours of live U.S. network television than anyone else, was the director of the long-running NBC series since 2006 and won 11 Emmys with 16 nominations.
Patrick is now on her way to rivaling her predecessor. She previously directed more than 2,000 episodes of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and has worked with DeGeneres on a number of series including Ellen’s Game of Games, Repeat After Me and Heads Up! She previously spent 15 years at MTV, working across live events as well as series such as Wild N’ Out.
She has had a slightly strange start to her SNL career; the writers strike meant that the last three episodes of Season 48 were canceled and Season 48 didn’t kick off until mid October.
Saturday Night Live also won the Emmy for Outstanding Production Design for a Variety or Reality Series at tonight’s Creative Arts Emmys ceremony.
It was also up for Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Picture Editing For Variety Programming and Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Variety Series, while Pedro Pascal and Quinta Brunson were up for Guest Actor awards, but didn’t succeed.
