2017 Emmy Predictions: Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series

Will Win - Dave Chappelle "Saturday Night Live"

Could Win -  Hugh Laurie "Veep" or Matthew Rhys "Girls"

Should Win -  Dave Chappelle "Saturday Night Live"

Commentary - I think that Dave Chappelle's return to sketch comedy will inspire votes and win him another Emmy. It doesn't hurt that his Netflix stand up specials came out during the last year. But he does have some competition. Most of the pundits are lining up behind Hugh Laurie, and it would be nice to finally see him win a long overdue Emmy, and he is the only nominee who doesn't have another guest star from the same show as competition. But he failed to make the cut on the supporting side, and I didn't find his outing on Veep this time around to be profoundly awards worthy, other than his appearance created a funny story line. I think that the one to watch for is Matthew Rhys. He is a double nominee this year, Peter Scolari's win last year proved that they still watch Girls, and his episode, which is essentially a two-hander was brilliant. But in the end, I am picking Chappelle.
