“We are honored to welcome the Daytime Emmy Awards back to Pasadena,” said Michael Ross, CEO of the Pasadena Convention Center. “We have been home to the Daytime Emmy Awards since 2017. It is gratifying to see this distinguished awards show return.”
The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards is produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020 and 2021. Adam Sharp and Steve Ulrich are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner of “Entertainment Tonight” are slated to host the Awards.
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, and legal/courtroom programs.
The Creative Arts and Lifestyle Emmy ceremony was also hosted at the Pasadena Convention Center this past Saturday, June 18.
NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” will be competing against itself — sort of — during the awards ceremony, with the long-running soap competing for best drama series honors with a streaming spinoff.
“Days of Our Lives” is nominated for outstanding daytime drama series, as is “Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem,” an offshoot shown on the NBC streaming channel Peacock. Also vying for the top prize will be CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful” and ABC’s “General Hospital.”
Marci Miller and Arianne Zucker of “Days of Our Lives” are both nominated for best actress in a daytime drama, along with Cynthia Watros and Laura Wright of “General Hospital” and Mishael Morgan of “The Young and the Restless.”
Competing for best actor in a daytime drama are Peter Bergman and Jason Thompson of “The Young and the Restless,” Eric Martsolf and James Reynolds of “Days of Our Lives” and John McCook of “The Bold and the Beautiful.”
Pat Sajak is nominated twice in the outstanding game show host category, for his work on “Wheel of Fortune” and “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.” Also nominated are Wayne Brady for “Let’s Make a Deal,” Steve Harvey for “Family Feud” and Leah Remini for “People Puzzler.”
“Wheel of Fortune,” “Let’s Make a Deal” and “Family Feud” are all nominated for outstanding game show, along with “Jeopardy!” and “The Price is Right.”
Friday’s event at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium will mark a return to an in-person ceremony after two years of interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner of “Entertainment Tonight” are scheduled to host the event.
During the show, John Aniston — father of Jennifer Aniston — will receive a lifetime achievement award recognizing his nearly four-decade run on “Days of Our Lives.”
The bulk of the Daytime Emmy honors were presented last week during the Creative Arts & Lifestyle Ceremony.
“The Kelly Clarkson Show” topped the winners in that event, earning five statuettes. Netflix’s documentary series “Penguin Town” took home three awards.
