Emmys 2024: Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Reunite For Weekend Update Bit That Proves Why They Should Host Every Awards Show

Saturday Night Live alums, real life BFFs, and awards show hosting titans Tina Fey and Amy Poehler reunited for a special 75th Emmy Awards addition of Weekend Update. Rather than tear into the celebs in the house, the duo revitalized their incredible SNL segment to present the Emmy for Variety Special (Live). Fey kicked off the intro by quipping the two of them had “reached the stage of life where we’ll only present awards sitting down.” The two then queued up the nominees with their trademark mix of sass and cleverly deployed self-deprecation, all while seated behind the classic Weekend Update desk…

The ultimate winner of the Emmy was Elton John: Live from Dodgers Stadium — meaning the great Sir Elton John finally got his EGOT — but really comedy nerds were the real winners simply because we got to see two of the best fire off some great quips live during an awards show. (Hey, remember when that was the norm for these things?)
