On Saturday, the last night of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Eddie Murphy won his first Emmy, according to E! News. 

The former SNL star won the award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his appearance on the show. Murphy was a cast member from 1980 to 1984 and hosted the show on December 21, 2019. 

"I don't have an Emmy. This is 40 years since I started Saturday Night Live, this is my first Emmy, so thank you so much," said Murphy from his home. "This was a very, very special thing for me to come back and have the show turn out the way it did. I'm still floating from it," he said. 

Rolling Stone reports that Dave Chappelle won a trio of Emmys for his special Sticks and Stones, which was roundly panned by critics when it was released. Chappelle remembered those critics in his acceptance speech. 

“Boy, this comes as a complete surprise. I mean, I read all the reviews and they said so many terrible things. That they were embarrassed for me. That I lost my way and wasn’t even worth watching,” Chappelle said. “I hope all you critics learn from this. This is a teachable moment. Shut the f**k up forever," he said.
