He had been nominated in the same category as RuPaul Charles – the host of RuPaul’s Drag Race – as well as the hosts of the shows of Shark Tank, Top Chef and Survivor.
Cumming’s win brought to an end an incredible run for Charles, who had picked up the award for the last eight years.
In the reality show, a group of contestants arrive at a Scottish castle who work to eliminate other contestants in a bid to win a big prize.
The UK version of the series is hosted by Claudia Winkleman (above) with the first season airing back in 2022 and a second coming at the beginning of 2024.
The US Traitors is however also available to view on BBC iPlayer.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
