TV News: NBC Scores 53 Primetime Emmy® Nominations

SNL gets an impressive 17 nominations and well deserved, but I’m wondering how they’ll do next season with all of the main cast having already departed the show – Seth Meyers will be leaving by the end of the year for his new talk show gig. I can only hope Justin Timberlake will comeback and do another Christmas episode…maybe we can get a follow-up to D**K In Box? And going head to head for Lead Actress in a Comdey Series are BFFs Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

Kudos to all the nominees! Good Luck!

Judy Manning

Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.
