The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Daily Show, which is hosted on Monday nights by Jon Stewart, will compete in the category after also fending off competition from upstarts such as buzzy YouTube show Hot Ones and Everybody's Live with John Mulaney.
Last year, The Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert were nominated in the category, with The Daily Show winning.
In 2023, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Problem with Jon Stewart were nominated, with The Daily Show also winning.
This year's submissions were The Daily Show, Everybody's Live with John Mulaney, Peacock's Hart to Heart, CNN's Have I Got News For You, YouTube series Hot Ones, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Midnight Snack with Julie Chan, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Dropout's Very Important People, Real Time with Bill Maher and Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Midnight Snack with Julie Chan was the surprise submission but it couldn't help get 14 submissions, which would have translated into a fourth nomination.
The TV Academy's rules mean that if a category scores between eight and 19 submissions, the number of submissions will be divided by four and rounded to the nearest whole number.
Elsewhere in late-night, Saturday Night Live is expected to compete directly against Last Week Tonight with John Oliver in the Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category. Full nominations come out later this morning.
The 77th Primetime Emmys will take place on September 14 and will air on CBS.
