Maya Rudolph made some Emmy Awards history over the weekend.
The 49-year-old actress picked up not only Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for hosting Saturday Night Live, but also the Character Voice-Over Performance for Big Mouth.
Both wins puts her in the record books as the first person in 20 years to win twice consecutively in the same category, twice.
Maya had picked up wins for Big Mouth and SNL the previous year, and also became the third Black woman ever to win back-to back Emmys.
