Despite several wins from
both cable-hosted and broadcast-hosted shows, there seems to be no correlation
between how well a television show will perform at the Emmys and whether it is
hosted on cable or broadcast television.
There does seem to be a
key to success, however. Many honored variety talk shows find success online by
taking clips of each show and posting them as individual videos, almost like
highlight reels. Each show’s percentage of Emmy wins in 2016 (based off the
number of wins divided by the number of nominations) has a strikingly positive
correlation to how often I see these shows shared on social media.
Last Week Tonight and The
Late Late Show, winning 40 percent and 33 percent of the time. John Oliver's humorous
takes on news and politics often become viral on social media, and James Corden’s
Carpool Karaoke series has been a Twitter and Facebook sensation. Jimmy Kimmel
Live took 13 percent of honors and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon took10
percent. Kimmel is popular for numerous styles of video including his pranks,
his man-on-the-street interviews and his Celebrities Read Mean Tweets series,
and Fallon is popular online with his skits and games with celebrity guests. Comedians
in Cars Getting Coffee and Real Time with Bill Maher both failed to win.
Though Bill
Maher believes he’s too “outspoken” to receive an award in front of a
“mainstream body” due to his stances on religion and politics, it is hard to
ignore the fact that shows with little online reach did not win awards in 2016.
