At the 75th Emmy Awards, Keke Palmer is the first woman in 15 years, and the first black woman ever, to be crowned the Best Game Show Host for the show ‘Password.’
This was the first time the category has been part of the primetime Emmys after moving from the daytime awards, and she beat Jeopardy!s hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik, ‘Family Feud’s’ Steve Harvey, and Wheel of Fortune’s Pat Sajak.
Keke said,
Wow. That is so exciting thank you so much. I’m really just so thankful, I’m almost speechless. I want to thank the people who allowed this to happen, thank you to Jimmy Fallon, thank to NBC.
