Congratulations to Keke Palmer! The actress has won another Emmy award for Outstanding Host for a Game Show for NBC’s Password.

The actress shared that she was speechless and thankful during her acceptance speech. “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, thanks to NBC.”
