2019 Emmy Awards nominations ballot: See all 20 Variety Sketch Series contenders from ‘At Home With Amy Sedaris’ to ‘Who is America?’

With the proliferation of both talk shows and sketch programs, the TV academy decided to split the variety series category at the Emmy Awards into two separate categories in 2015 to better recognize achievements in both these genres. There were 17 entries for Best Variety Sketch Series that year. This rose to 20 in 2016 before falling to 18 in 2017 and 19 last year. This year, it has moved back up to 20 such shows on the ballot. And with six series reaping bids, the odds for each entry are pretty good.

All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 24 to cast their ballots for their favorite variety sketch shows. In the past, voters were limited in the number of such shows that they could put forth; this year that cap (which was usually 10 per category) has been lifted. Unlike at the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.
