Leo Akira Yoshimura and Keith Ian Raywood have each won six Emmy Awards for their production design work on NBC’s late night sketch comedy series “Saturday Night Live” (and Raywood has a seventh trophy for the MTV Video Music Awards). They’re Emmy-nominated again this year for the episodes hosted by Steve Martin/Martin Short and Jenna Ortega. “It always feels really special and it’s nice to be a part of it,” Raywood declares about the awards love, to which Yoshimura jokes, “We deserve it!” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

NBC’s Emmy juggernaut Saturday Night Live entered a pair of episodes for the production design award this season, one hosted by Only Murders in the Building‘s Steve Martin and Martin Short and one hosted by Wednesday star Jenna Ortega.
A nomination, or nominations, would extend the remarkable track record of Eugene Lee, who died in February at age 83 after serving as a production designer on SNL since its 1975 pilot. He has been nominated 17 times for the show, and a posthumous award would give him a seventh Emmy win for the sketch series.
“I was very honored to work with Eugene Lee for 47 years,” says fellow production designer Leo Yoshimura. “Eugene hired me to be his art director on Saturday Night Live in August 1975. I overstayed. I will miss his consummate passion for design. But it is comforting to know that I will still be able to work in Eugene Lee’s television studio.
