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.
