W. Kamau Bell, Samantha Bee and James Corden take home Creative Arts Emmy Awards

Saturday Night Live was the biggest show winner last weekend during the “creative arts” portion of the 2017 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Guest Actor and Actress nods for both Dave Chappelle and Melissa McCarthy for their guest appearances last season, but W. Kamau Bell, Samantha Bee and James Corden also were among the notable comedians to take home Emmys, too.

Bell’s United Shades of America on CNN won for outstanding unstructured reality program; Bee, for outstanding writing for a variety special for her Full Frontal With Samantha Bee Presents Not The White House Correspondents’ Dinner; and Corden, his second consecutive variety special Emmy win for Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special 2017.

That means, of course, a shut-out for the stand-up comedy specials in the Emmys this year. I know, right?

Rachel Bloom of The CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend sang her ode to the Emmys live to open the ceremonies. You’ll be able to see this and the acceptance speeches during the official edited broadcast of the Creative Arts Emmys on Sept. 16, 2017, on FXX.
