4 of the 7 nominees were John Stewart proteges. Their shows are all similar in a way but John Oliver's show really goes deep into the issues

[moeezS]

The research John Oliver's team does outweighs the other shows, Sam Bee's show comes close. Well deserved!

Huh? Talk about this year's diverse nominees! They even nominated a parrot. And it won! Kudos John!

[babilabub]

And the emmy went to the deserving show ! Yey John Oliver.

[noracozadd]

John Oliver is fantastic - well deserved!

[ADAM-ufmy]

Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver. DAMN THE DAILY SHOW PRODUCED GREAT TALENTS.

EDIT: There I edited it, i hope you're happy

It's a shame he didn't use his platform to raise awareness of the tragic Koala Clymydia epidemic.

[zen-wuzl]

Well deserved! The amount of research do for one show is just mind blowing. LWT is the perfect mixture of quality, depth and humour.

[Hi-to-ri]

awww Trevor was genuinely happy for Oliver

[Rorschach]

I love how the other hosts can already see how Last week Tonight is gonna keep sweeping these awards. If ever you wanted an indicator of who is the true successor of Jon Stewart, this is it

[ccful]

I don't get how James Corden was nominated instead of Seth Meyers. They kind of made up for it though by not nominating Fallon.

[rahmaahmed]

am a fan of every single nominee but well deserved Jonh
PS: just glad that Jimmy Fallon wasn't nominated!

[shindean]

No disrespect to the other shows, they're very entertaining, but they all feel derivative of what Jon Stewart accomplished. Oliver is the real deal, well deserved win!

[sunilprajapati]

You were supposed to bring a show this week, not be in the Emmy

[crmartinez]

John Oliver’s monologues are outstanding! You literally learn something useful every single show

[dbone]

It makes me so happy that Fallon wasn't included. Though Meyers should have been.

[Xperian]

Poor Colbert, LOL
Colbert is hands on the best DAILY late show. Too bad they put him in the same category with Last Week Tonight.

John Oliver is great because of deep dive to the topic, and the topics he choose is not particularly mainstream but affect almost to all US citizens.

[AinunNazieb]

Last Week Tonight is the Game of Thrones of late night show..

[sharirood]

Such an amazing show with great in-depth stories about the important issues. Well deserved!

[stoneandonly]

To me, this is the rare time all the nominees were outstanding.
