Predicting who among the twenty-something hosts will get selected by the voters can be challenging, but one particular fanbase is convinced their favorite is about to be chosen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The presumptive nominee is Connor Storrie, the breakout star of <em>Heated Rivalry<\/em>. He <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/snl-forced-change-sketch-last-142457191.html\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:hosted back in February;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;hosted back in February&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">hosted back in February<\/a> and got a very positive response from fans who were impressed by his wide variety of accents, as well as his willingness to just go with a bunch of ridiculous characters, including <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uJAIEym5FvM\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:an injured stripper heroically fighting through the pain;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;an injured stripper heroically fighting through the pain&quot;}\" class=\"link \">an injured stripper heroically fighting through the pain<\/a>. At the time, he seemed like one of several possible hosts who could wind up getting pushed, but over the last week or two, he\u2019s really separated himself from the pack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">First, the show <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/awards\/snl-emmys-acting-submissions-guest-snubs-2026-1236778770\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:officially submitted him for consideration;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;officially submitted him for consideration&quot;}\" class=\"link \">officially submitted him for consideration<\/a>, which is a bigger hurdle than you might think, as only around half make the cut. Second, his fans started <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LunarStorrie\/status\/2067701952629150031\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:being loud on social media;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;being loud on social media&quot;}\" class=\"link \">being loud on social media<\/a> about wanting to see him nominated, which matters as voters sometimes need to be pointed in the right direction. Third, he started showing up in prediction lists, most prominently over at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goldderby.com\/odds\/combined-odds\/emmy-awards-nominations-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Gold Derby;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Gold Derby&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Gold Derby<\/a>, which has him at or near the top of the list from both the site\u2019s editors and users.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There\u2019s also the <em>Heated Rivalry<\/em> of it all. The breakout hit, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/excited-for-heated-rivalry-season-2-what-we-know\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:which has been renewed for season two;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;which has been renewed for season two&quot;}\" class=\"link \">which has been renewed for season two<\/a>, was one of the buzzier TV shows of the last year, but because it\u2019s a Canadian production, it\u2019s not actually eligible for the traditional Emmys. It instead has to compete in the International Emmys, which get a lot less fanfare. An <em>SNL<\/em> nomination for Storrie would give voters a chance to honor the show and him. That might sound weird if you\u2019re not someone who follows awards shows closely, but those of us who do understand that narratives and make-up awards are most definitely part of the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">If Storrie gets his nomination, he\u2019ll be in great company. <em>SNL<\/em> has gotten its hosts dozens of nominations over the years and quite a few wins. Maya Rudolph, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Tiffany Haddish, Justin Timberlake and more have taken home the trophy, and a ton more have at least been recognized over the years. Voters clearly like rewarding the unique skill set <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> can bring out of a performer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">You can watch an example of that from Storrie in this wild sketch about ice skating from his episode\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The nominations officially come out on July 8th with the ceremony following on September 14th. If I had to guess, I\u2019d say there\u2019s about a sixty percent chance Storrie actually gets nominated. That means <em>Heated Rivalry<\/em> fans are free to get their hopes up, but I wouldn\u2019t start betting large amounts of money on it.
