Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Revive 'SNL' Roles at 75th Primetime Emmy Awards
Comedy Duo Presents Outstanding Live Variety Special Award, Won by Elton John, Achieving EGOT Status
- Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, former co-anchors of 'Saturday Night Live's' 'Weekend Update', revived their roles at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards to present the award for Outstanding Live Variety Special.
- The duo humorously introduced each nominee in the style of 'Weekend Update', including a comment about Rihanna's Super Bowl Halftime Show being 'the concert so good it got us all pregnant'.
- The award was won by Elton John for his 'Farewell From Dodger Stadium' special, making him an EGOT winner - someone who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award.
- Fey and Poehler's appearance was part of the Emmy's initiative to celebrate TV, which included multiple cast reunions from shows like 'Grey's Anatomy', 'The Sopranos', 'Martin', 'Cheers', and 'It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia'.
- There are currently no immediate plans for Fey and Poehler to officially reunite on an episode of 'SNL', but sources suggest anything could happen in 2025, the 50th anniversary of 'SNL'.
