Outstanding Variety Series
There are a lot of endings in the lineup of the TYF’s best picks for Variety News Program. While both Jimmys provide solid work and David Letterman could take home an Emmy for his legacy alone, it’s the more scathing comedy outputs that stole the show this year. John Oliver was tremendous on his platform, where he got to be funny, sure, but also used his HBO outlet to go all-out on criticism, picking one subject and running with it. Stephen Colbert had his last outing on The Colbert Show with an emotional but hilarious final bow. However, even though he’s won this award almost too many times to count, and often in years that would have been better suited for his buddy Colbert, Jon Stewart is having a hell of a finale season–just compare the recent videos of the Charlestown shooting and Donald Trump’s announcement of his run for Presidency, and try to convince me that anyone will be able to take his place. – Allyson Johnson
