Sterling K. Brown took home Emmy Awards in both 2016 and 2017. The actor garnered a trophy for his portrayal of attorney Christopher Darden in the FX series "People v. OJ Simpson: AMERICAN CRIME Story." The following year, he earned an Emmy for his role of Randall Pearson in the NBC drama "This Is Us." This year, he received a Golden Globe nom for his performance.

Brown currently stars in NBC's Emmy Award- and Golden Globe-nominated drama series This Is Us. For his role as Randall Pearson, Brown has won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, as well as a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics Choice Award. THIS IS US returns to NBC Tuesday, February 27.

Saturday Night Live (SNL) is an American late-night live television variety show created by Lorne Michaels and developed by Dick Ebersol. The show premiered on NBC on October 11, 1975, under the original title NBC's Saturday Night. The show's comedy sketches, which parody contemporary culture and politics, are performed by a large and varying cast of repertory and newer cast members. Each episode is hosted by a celebrity guest, who usually delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast as with featured performances by a musical guest. An episode normally begins with a cold open sketch that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming, "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!", properly beginning the show.
