More people watch YouTube on their televisions than any other streaming service, including Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon’s Prime Video. However, despite a wide embrace from the public, as well as high-profile original programming from hosts and creators like Sean Evans, Amelia Dimoldenberg, and the Good Mythical Morning duo of Rhett and Link, the Television Academy has largely overlooked YouTube shows in its Emmy consideration. Challenge Accepted host Michelle Khare hopes that it will change sooner rather than later. Khare’s nonfiction series is being submitted this year in the Best Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special category, alongside past winners such as David Letterman (My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman) and Stanley Tucci (Tucci in Italy).

With just one week left in the 2024-25 Emmy cycle, Awards Magnet hosts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here with another round of predictions — for the final time together. Sadly, this is Chris' last episode of Awards Magnet — an end of an era! — but he's going out with a bang with a new set of predictions. He's back on The Four Seasons train, but has forsaken one of his favorites from Hacks despite this week's major episode. This week also marked the end of the first season of The Studio and saw the release of The Bear Season 4 trailer. Season 4 is eligible next year, of course, but hope springs eternal for those who feel a good fourth season will boost Season 3's Emmy chances. Awards Magnet will continue, but listen to Chris' farewell here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Not to be hyperbolic, but Thursday's episode of Hacks might be its most important one yet. "It is the most pivotal episode of the series so far," co-creator, co-showrunner, director, and star Paul W. Downs says on the latest episode of Awards Magnet. Listen as hosts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng chat with Paul about the fourth season of Hacks and its best episode yet.
