Maya Rudolph Becomes First Same Category Consecutive Emmy Winner In 20 Years & Third Black Woman Ever To Win Back-To-Back Emmys
Collecting her second Emmy on Sunday night, Maya Rudolph not only became the first person in 20 years to win twice consecutively in the same category, twice–she won her second consecutive Emmy for her Big Mouth voice role, and another second consecutive Emmy for guesting on SNL—but she also became the third Black woman ever to win back-to back Emmys. Picking up the gold for Comedy Guest Actress for hosting Saturday Night Live, Rudolph was thrilled to learn of the latter achievement backstage.
