The awards were for Variety Talk Series and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. The show is no strangers to the Emmy's with no less than eight previous wins between 2008 and 2017.
However, South Africa’s other film talent in America, Thuso Mbedu, surprisingly missed out on all the nominations after the incredible The Underground Railroad. The show was honoured with seven nominations, but none for acting performances.
The public expressed its unhappiness about the snub.
Meanwhile, Trevor Noah will find out the final results when the live event takes place on 20 September 2021.
