2025 Oscars

Vulture‘s Joe Reid thinks they could, with Colbert’s Late Show poised to nab its first-ever Outstanding Talk Series win, and SNL‘s 50th facing off against Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and the Conan O’Brien-hosted Oscars for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).

“They are all 100% correct, of course,” Richter wrote today on Bluesky. “But I couldn’t help but feel as I read the reviews… You mean the Oscars [that] was basically an extravagant version of the show that we did on TBS for 11 years, as in same host, same writers, same sensibility? The one that went off the air in 2021? Ah, jeez, if only there was something like that on tv now.” [via TV Tattle]
