Outstanding Reality Show Host

Tom Bergeron, Dancing With the Stars

RuPaul Charles, RuPaul’s Drag Race

Steve Harvey, Little Big Shots starring Steve Harvey

Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, Project Runway

Jane Lynch, Hollywood Game Night

Ryan Seacrest, American Idol

RuPaul already took home the prize for hosting the long-running Logo hit.

Outstanding Reality Show Competition

The Amazing Race

American Ninja Warrior

Dancing With the Stars

Project Runway

Top Chef

The Voice

The Amazing Race is the usual favorite in this category and I don’t see a reason for that to change this year.

Outstanding Variety Talk Series

Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

The Late Late Show with James Corden

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Last Week Tonight With John Oliver

Outstanding Variety Sketch Series

Documentary Now!
