“I’m sweating! Beyoncé’s head is wet! This wing is wrecking me,” Rudolph chokes out before dousing herself in milk and demanding her stylist to remove her wig and “put six ice cubes on my head, then put my wig back on.” That wing causes her to have an epic meltdown. Still, she tries to power through and bites into another wing that is covered in a sauce with a Scoville rating of 676,000. Rudolph’s Beyoncé hilariously squirms in her seat, trying to appear unfazed, but soon breaks out into a heavy sweat. She then eats a wing with a Scoville rating of 135,600 units and - as it turns out - it is way too hot for her to handle.

When invited to bite into the first wing, which is covered in a mild sauce, the comedian boasts, “Mild? Come on, now. “I know,” Rudolph smoothly replies before adding she’s still determining if the interview is beneath her, and it all goes downhill from there.

She won in the same category last year for her portrayal of Harris, and this year was recognized for her hosting duties, on an episode that included Rudolph playing Beyoncé eating spicy wings. So, it’s nice when people recognize something that you’re already happy about.” That’s even better than you imagine, because I think that when you love something so much, that is the reward. It’s just wild to love something and then be recognized for it. And I feel really proud that for something that I love so much. The “Bridesmaids” star added of the long-running sketch show: “It holds such a special place in my heart, and it’s the first place where I really found my people in work and created a work family. Rudolph accepted, over videoconference, the 2020 Emmy for Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her portrayal of Kamala Harris on “Saturday Night Live.” She won the same award on Sunday at the 2021 Creative Arts Emmys for hosting the sketch show. “This one feels particularly sweet and like an enormous personal achievement just because ‘Saturday Night Live’ is genuinely something that I dreamt up since I was a kid and loved as a kid and watched my parents watching growing up, and then it became a part of my life,” said Rudolph, who was an “SNL” cast member from 2000 to 2007 and has been making cameos as, among other characters, Vice President Kamala Harris on the show of late. “I feel like this Emmy is very fitting, in that it’s for something that feels like such a personal achievement … I feel really honored that I’m part of a legacy as the third woman of color to achieve that.” I feel honored to be part of something like that,” Rudolph told reporters, according to Deadline. The funnywoman earned a Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series statuette for her “SNL” appearances this past season, and was named Best Character Voice-Over for her work on the animated comedy “Big Mouth.” The “Saturday Night Live” alum, 49, made history on Sunday at the Creative Arts Emmys when she won two awards in the same categories she won in last year - and became the third black woman to win two years in a row.
