Connor Storrie is breaking his silence on his first-ever Emmy Awards nomination!
The 25-year-old Heated Rivalry star was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for hosting Saturday Night Live in February.
Unfortunately, he was ineligible for a nomination for his acting in Heated Rivalry, but was eligible as host of SNL, and was the only host from the variety sketch show’s 51st season to receive a nomination, despite several others being submitted.
Following his first Emmy nomination, Connor reflected on his time hosting the show and reacted to his big honor.
“SNL was such a ‘pinch me’ moment in my career,” he shared in a statement with The Hollywood Reporter. “It was a formative part of my life growing up, so to be recognized by the Academy for hosting feels incredibly surreal. I’m so grateful to everyone who made that night possible.”
Per the publication, the award is typically given out during the Creative Arts Emmys, which will take place on September 5th and 6th, ahead of the Primetime Emmy Awards show on September 12th.
