The talk show writing category's been done away with, so "J!"'s umpteenth writers' nomination competition is Ellen and "The View." They took advantage of the eligibility year not being a calendar year to give Steve Dorfman a final nomination.
"J!" and "TPIR" each have six nominations, "WWTBAM" has four. Good luck to all.
