Emmys 2018: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)

10. Variety Talk Series

Nominees: The Daily Show with Trevor Noah; Full Frontal with Samantha Bee; Jimmy Kimmel Live; Last Week Tonight with John Oliver; The Late Late Show with James Corden; The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Should Win: Last Week Tonight With John Oliver

A lot of these shows are all putting a slightly different spin on the same things - and there's been a wealth of material for them to mine - and while all have their merits, none do it better (or funnier) than Oliver.

Will Win: Last Week Tonight With John Oliver

This is Oliver's award to lose, with Last Week Tonight having won the award the past two years, and with no discernible dip in quality, it's well-placed to get the hat-trick.
