The reigning champion, The Daily Show, is up against Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Each of these programs has a distinct approach to late-night entertainment, contributing to engaging discussions and comedy that resonate with viewers.
At 11:30 a.m. ET / 8:30 a.m. PT, viewers can look forward to more nominees being announced in other top categories. The announcement will be streamed live by notable personalities including Harvey Guillén from What We Do in the Shadows, Brenda Song from Running Point, and Cris Abrego, chair of the Television Academy.
