Night two of Creative Arts Emmys 2025 Opened the door to a couple of fascinating upsets that can happen at the 77th PrimeTime Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 14, but they require some context.
Since 2003, the only programs that won the category now called Outstanding Talk Series have been “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” or A series that was hosted by Talent that served as a correspondent during Stewart’s first time at Comedy Central Staple. They were “The Colbert Report” Twice, Before Stewart Won Again for His Farewell Season in 2015, then “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” for Seven years in a row, before the Weekly Hbo Show Was Moved to the New Outstanding Wear With Trevor Noah “To Win in 2023 (for the South African Comedian’s Final Season Hosting,) Leading to Stewart’s Weekly Return to” The Daily Show “wins every year ago.
But with the announcement of ”The late show with Stephen Colbert“At CBS endsin what is assumed to be a Concession to the Trump administration To get the parent company Paramount’s Fusion with Skydance Approved, there has been a print for Colbert’s broadcast talk show to finally win the outstanding talk series for its second last season. Even the nominated Jimmy Kimmel has used her own campaign ads to tell Television Academy members to vote for Colbert.
Everything has been at the same time with ”The Daily Show,“Which is also the Property of Paramount, Getting 12 Emmy Nominations – More Nominations Than It Has Ever Gotten Before – Due to Its Complementary Programming Like” The Daily Show: Desi Lydic Foxsplains “and” The Pulse: Maga: Jordan Klipper Presents were nominated and just won Emmys For categories such as Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series and Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction program.
At the same time, Emmy nominations for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” have become smaller and smaller over the years, since the variation categories have generally had fewer submissions, and therefore fewer nomination places. The entire Paramount test occurred after the nomination vote had already been closed. “The Daily Show” is the only perennial outstanding speech queue nominees that have been consistently nominated for both outstanding director for a variation series and outstanding writing for a variation series, often against “Saturday Night Live“Which usually always wins the last and” last week tonight with John Oliver “, who usually always wins it later.
But it changed this year! “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” won outstanding director for a variation series – the only other Emmy category that it was nominated for in addition to the Outstanding Talk Series. But does that mean that the show, which is set to close next year, will finally be the one who will expel the “The Daily Show” in the Outstanding Talk Series category?
Not so fast. Although “Saturday Night Live” did not win outstanding director for a variety series specifically, director Liz Patrick still won outstanding director for a variety special for “SNL50: Jubilee special.” The 50th season of “Saturday Night Live”, and programming that surrounded it, was actually a dominant force on Creative Arts Emmys this year, also served trophies for production design, sound mixing, makeup, hairstyle, image editing, light design/direction, technical direction (for a series and special, writing for a variety and special “SNL 50 Special: imgersive.
So what exactly are the above -mentioned upset that could have only been up by Creative Arts Emmys 2025 wins? Going category by category, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” who wins for director is still a good sign that it could finally beat the “The Daily Show” in the Outstanding Talk Series, which would be an upset in a broader sense. But if the “The Daily Show” wins again this year (which is very possible considering the amount of creative art Emmys as it already won,) it would be an upset within the framework of this year, where the creative society seemed to have gathered around Colbert.
When he moved to the category Outstanding Scripted kind of series, “Saturday night live” lost to “last week tonight with John Oliver” every year since the new category that placed the show in the competition with each other. The chance that the NBC series about late night could draw an upset on the anniversary seems high, as it already won categories such as image editing and technical direction, which Oliver’s show quite consistently won over an annual distance.
But with all the different options that came with the “SNL50” of it all, The Most Like Like Statario is Status Quo in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series Category, But A Win For Outstanding Variety Special (Live) Category, Which Would Be ITS OWN UPS (Fell Halftime Show Starring Kendrick Lamar, “” Beyoncé Bowl, “and” The Oscars “Have All Also Won Creative Arts Emmys this year.)
All this makes the outstanding writing for a variation series a category to keep an eye on specific, for “last week tonight with John Oliver” not Win, it would have a fairly snowball effect on the variation categories, whose results have been boring unchanging.
