Stephen Colbert — in the running himself for his weeknight "Late Show" — debuts as host of television's celebration of its own excellence as CBS presents the event Sunday, Sept. 17, from Los Angeles' Microsoft Theater. As usual, expect to see many familiar stars as presenters, especially since the new TV season starts the next week, and their presence at the ceremony won't hurt as reminders of their shows (or so their respective net- works hope). It's significant that a broadcast series (NBC's "Saturday Night Live") and a cable series (for its first season, HBO's "West- world") are tied for the most Emmy nominations, with 22 each. Looking at the contenders, cable again has the lion's share, but streaming services also make a very impres- sive showing in quite a few contests. The drama-series category is particularly interesting, since no less than three of the seven nominees hail from Netflix. Despite the absence of HBO's perpetual contend- er "Game of Thrones" — whose latest season began after the close of the Emmy eligibility period — cable makes its mark with AMC's "Better Call Saul" and HBO's "West- world." And there's still room for NBC's "This Is Us," the first time a broad- cast drama has been in that contest since "The Good Wife's" nomination in 2011. Stephen Colbert hosts the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards, Sunday on CBS. Streaming services come on strong in 69th Primetime Emmy Awards
