The Emmys may be having an identity crisis over what constitutes a comedy these days, but one thing remains crystal clear about the Television Academy — voters still find the men of ”Saturday Night Live” irresistibly funny.

For the second year in a row, the actor in a comedy series category is dominated by “SNL” alums. Jason Sudeikis (“Ted Lasso”), Bill Hader (“Barry”) and Martin Short (“Only Murders in the Building”) all made the cut for the 75th ceremony. It’s a repeat of last year, when the same trio nabbed nominations, in addition to Short’s co-star Steve Martin, who was never an official “SNL” cast member but served as a frequent host and is forever associated with the show. (He was oddly snubbed this year.)

Go back a decade, and other “SNL” men have held their ground in the category: Kenan Thompson (“Kenan,” 2021), Larry David (“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” 2018) and Will Forte (“The Last Man on Earth,” 2016). And women, including Tina Fey, have also picked up acting trophies for post-“SNL” projects.

“SNL” is a comedy institution with a nearly 50-year legacy as a training ground for talent that eventually flies the nest to take the industry by storm. It shouldn’t be that big of a shock that the TV Academy loves to throw nominations (and statues) at those that cut their teeth inside the walls of Studio 8Hin Rockefeller Center.
