2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Variety Talk Series, Variety Scripted Series, Variety Special (Live), and Variety Special (Pre-Recorded)

Best Variety Talk Series
Will Win - The Daily Show
Could Win - Late Night with Stephen Colbert
Should Win - The Daily Show
Commentary - The return of Jon Stewart looks like it will help him once again beat out his old friend Stephen Colbert.

Best Variety Scripted Series
Will Win - Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Could Win - Saturday Night Live
Should Win - The Emmy voters, but re-combining these categories and making them vote once.
Commentary - Until John Oliver loses, I will pick him

Best Variety Special (Live)
Will Win - The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Starring Usher
Could Win - The Oscars, The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady
Should Win - The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Starring Usher
Commentary - A lot of folks are predicting The Oscars make a comeback, but it has been a long time since an awards show has won in this category. Without an Elton John-esque nominee, I am going back to the Super Bowl Halftime show. But watch out for the Tom Brady rest. It is the most unique of the bunch, and in a bunch of split votes, it could surprise. 

Best Variety Special (Pre-Recorded)
Will Win - Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic
Could Win - Billy Joel: The 100th - Live At Madison Square Garden
Should Win - Dick Ban Dyke: 98 Years of Magic
Commentary - A fun race between two legends, I think Dick Van Dyke's nostalgic night of magic beats out Billy Joel.
