Trevor Noah, Elton John, RuPaul and More Record-Setters at 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards


Noah is a Grammy nominee for best comedy album, so he could win two EGOT-level awards in the space of 20 days.

The path to Noah’s victory was paved when the Primetime Emmys moved Late Night With John Oliver, which had won outstanding talk series the last seven years running, to a new category – outstanding scripted variety series, where it competed with Saturday Night Live and A Black Lady Sketch Show. Quinta Brunson, the star and creator of Abbott Elementary, won as outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. The In Memoriam spot saluted such late TV giants as Norman Lear, Angela Lansbury, Suzanne Somers, Leslie Jordan, Cindy Williams, Bob Barker, Paul Reubens, Tommy Smothers, Barbara Walters, Harry Belafonte and Irene Cara.
