Emmy Predictions: Talk/Scripted Variety Series — The Variety Categories Are Still a Mess; Netflix, Dropout, and ‘Hot Ones’ Stir Up Buzz
2025 Emmys Talk Series/Scripted Variety predictions include Seth Meyers, John Oliver, "The Daily Show," "Hot Ones" and "Saturday Night Live."
The most popular “Hot Ones” episodes in the past year have featured “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Conan O’Brien, Jenna Ortega — and Donald Duck, in a bit sponsored by Disney. Alongside his witty sidekick Richard Kind (a possible contender for guest comedy actor for Hulu’s “Mid-Century Modern”) and the very efficient Saymo, the robot delivery cart, Mulaney’s ’70s-inspired talk back is the latest to shake up the category, devoid of an agreed-upon frontrunner. This year would include NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” HBO/Max’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” and the now-canceled “After Midnight” and “It’s Florida, Man.” If no additional shows are submitted, the category would trigger an “opt-in” jury process for eligible voters.
