Alan Cumming has won Outstanding Host at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, bringing an end to RuPaul’s eight-year winning streak.
Taking the trophy for his work on the second season of The Traitors US, the Scottish actor also defeated Survivor’s Jeff Probst, Top Chef’s Kristen Kish and Shark Tank’s Barbara Corcoran, Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec, Lori Greiner, Daymond John and Kevin O’Leary.
Although Cumming previously won a New York Emmy Award (like you, we only just found out that was a thing too) for Best Lifestyle Program (1st Look: Scotland), this marks his first win in the Primetime category.
He earned four nominations between 2010 and 2016 for his acclaimed performance as Eli Gold on The Good Wife and for hosting the 69th Tony Awards.
