John Oliver is rooting for an Emmy loss.
Instead of himself, he’s hoping either Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel will take home the award for Outstanding Variety Series. Nominees for the category are Oliver’s Last Week Tonight, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Daily Show, and Saturday Night Live.
“I would really love for Colbert and Kimmel to win tonight,” Oliver said during a red carpet interview before the awards ceremony. ”Kimmel’s had a very, very difficult year in many different ways and has done an incredible job navigating it, so I would love Jimmy Kimmel to win tonight. Stephen, obviously, it would be great to see. So in our category, that’s what I would love to see.”
