The Daytime Emmy Awards returned to CBS this year where Kelly Clarkson took home both Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host. These were her first win for Talk Show, a category that has been dominated by Ellen DeGeneres and her afternoon show and The Talk over the last decade. It is her second win in a row for Outstanding Host.
The two-hour ceremony was hosted by The Talk’s Sheryl Underwood and was pre-taped in a Burbank, Calif., sound stage on June 12 and 13. Similar to how the Screen Actors Guild handled their awards show this year, every nominee was asked to give acceptance speeches but the winners didn’t find out they won until the live telecast aired on CBS.
Posthumous wins went to Alex Trebek for Outstanding Game Show Host (Jeopardy!), where his children Matt and Emily accepted his Emmy and Larry King, who was named Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host (Larry King Now). His sons Chance and Cannon accepted his Emmy. Trebek passed away on November 8, 2020 after a 20-month battle with stage IV pancreatic cancer. King died on January 23, 2021 of sepsis after a short battle with COVID-19.
Both were featured in a tribute that included Emmy-winning daytime talk show and nighttime game show host Regis Philbin. During the tribute, the Television Academy included an incorrect picture for The Young and the Restless actress Marguerite Ray, who passed away in November 2020. By mistake, they included a photograph of Veronica Redd, the actress who took over the role of Mamie Johnson after Ray’s exit.
“We deeply regret this error and intend to re-edit the sequence for subsequent digital releases once a replacement image can be appropriately licensed,” the Emmys wrote as part of a series of tweets on Saturday. “We sincerely apologize to the Ray family — as well as to Veronica Redd, whose image was inadvertently used instead. Each of these Daytime icons deserved better from our Academy.”
General Hospital was named Outstanding Drama Series. The show also won the directing award plus lead and supporting actor prizes as part of its six total wins. The Letter for the King and Julie and the Phantoms took three awards each, and the night’s other multiple winners included The Real, Odd Squad, The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives.
The Daytime Children’s Programming and Animation Emmy Awards will be presented in a stand-alone streaming show July 17, and the Daytime Lifestyle Programming Emmy Awards follow the next day. Nominations for both will be revealed Monday.
Here is the complete list of winners of the 48th Daytime Emmy Awards.
