OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN A VARIETY, MUSIC OR COMEDY SERIES/SPECIAL

Samantha Bee, for Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
Brandon Victor Dixon for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert
Trixie Mattel for The Trixie & Katya Show
Kate McKinnon for Saturday Night Live
John Oliver for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

AND THE WINNER IS:


BRANDON VICTOR DIXON FOR JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR LIVE IN CONCERT

This is the first win and nomination for Brandon Victor Dixon.

While many came to the NBC telecast for celebrity singers John Legend and Sara Bareilles just about everyone after the broadcast was looking into Dixon and blown away by him. Being familiar with the show I was not surprised that whoever played Judas would run away with the show. He certainly did that and more. Dixon a regular broadway star proved he has the chops to perform in many medias. His rendition of Superstar at the end of show was a sight to behold and a standout moment in this tv season. I hope that Dixon continues to grow from more people seeing his work and maybe return to future live musical productions if they will have him.
