Sarah Silverman's I Love You, America is up for an Emmy, but she hopes Sacha Baron Cohen wins over her

Variety

Silverman was so sure her canceled Hulu series wouldn't earn another Emmy nomination, she hosted a For Your consideration event for another show in her category, Cohen's Who Is America? Now both shows are facing off in the Outstanding Variety Sketch Series category. But she feels a special kinship with Cohen, since both shows were borne out of the 2016 election. “We all go in knowing Saturday Night Live will win,” she says. “But I thought Sacha would be good; he’s not doing another season. But I’m not either. I’m canceled — what am I saying?”
