Keke Palmer is the first woman to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host since 2009, where she received the Password award.

Keke Palmer won the Emmy for Outstanding Host of a Password Game Show at the 75th Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday.

The 30-year-old artist – who recently burst with happiness – is the first woman to receive the trophy since Meredith Vieira won the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire award in 2009.

When she accepted the honor, she said: Wow. This is very exciting. Thank you very much. I am truly so grateful, I am almost speechless Delivery time.

Palmer, who stunned while wearing a wine-colored leather dress, went on to say, “I want to thank the people who allowed this to happen — thank you Jimmy Fallon, thank you NBC.”

In addition to being the first woman to win the award in 15 years, Palmer is also the first Black woman to be nominated.
