American actor and comedian Eddie Murphy recently hooked his first Primetime Emmy win for hosting Saturday Night Live (SNL) in the Guest Actor Comedy Series category.

 

Murphy won in a competitive category against Brad Pitt and Adam Driver who were also up for hosting duties on SNL. Also nominated were Fred Willard in “Modern Family” (in a posthumous nomination), Dev Patel in Amazon’s “Modern Love” and Luke Kirby as Lenny Bruce on “The Marvelous Mrs Maisel”. Murphy wasn’t available virtually to accept his first Emmy tonight on the Creative Emmys FXX telecast.
