Best Variety Talk Series
Daily Show with Trevor Noah
Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Other Contenders - Conan, Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, Real Time with Bill Maher, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Late Show with James Corden
Commentary - Only four nominees this year due to the ballot rules (I have a sneaking suspicion it will not be long before the two categories are re-combined). I would bet a lot of money on The Daily Show, Late Show, and Last Week Tonight. The last slot could be up in the air. Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been the staple throughout the last decade in this category, so I am going with him. But previous nominees like Conan, Full Frontal, Real Time, The Tonight Show, and Late Late Show could take that slot instead. Also, Late Night with Seth Meyers has been flirting with cracking into this category for several years now, and could finally make the cut.
Best Variety Sketch Series
A Black Lady Sketch Show
Saturday Night Live
Other Contenders - The Amber Ruffin Show, Whose Line is It Anyway?, Ziwe Show, That Damn Michael Che
Commentary - Is this the year that A Black Lady Sketch Show finally beats the juggernaut? Probably not, but their battle for the win is set in stone yet again.
