Alex Trebek, Larry King Posthumously Win Daytime Emmys
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) - Alex Trebek and Larry King were among the winners at the 48th annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Trebek won for outstanding game show host for the third consecutive year and eighth time overall. The longtime "Jeopardy!" host died of cancer in November.
The other nominees were Wayne Brady of "Let's Make a Deal," Steve Harvey of "Family Feud," Alfonso Ribeiro for "Catch 21" and Pat Sajak for "Wheel of Fortune."
King, who died in January, won for outstanding informative talk show host, his first victory in the category. He had been nominated in the category four previous times.
The other nominees were Gloria Estefan, Emily Estefan and Lili Estefan for "Red Table Talk: The Estefans"; Tamron Hall for "Tamron Hall"; Taraji P. Henson and Tracie Jade for "Peace of Mind with Taraji"; Rachael Ray for "Rachael Ray"; Amy Robach, Dr. Jennifer Ashton and TJ Holmes for "GMA3: What You Need to Know"; and Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris for "Red Table Talk."
"General Hospital" won for outstanding drama series for a record 14th time and first since 2017. The other nominees were CBS' "The Young and the Restless" and "The Bold and the Beautiful" and NBC's "Days of Our Lives."
The field consisted of all the daytime dramas airing on the original three major broadcast networks.
"Jeopardy!" won for outstanding game show for the second consecutive year and 17th time overall. The other nominees were "Family Feud," "Let's Make a Deal," "The Price is Right" and "Wheel of Fortune."
Trebek, King and Regis Philbin were honored during a special segment featuring Kathy Lee Gifford, Ken Jeong, Martha Stewart and Robin Roberts. Philbin died last July at age 88.
The ceremony was held in a largely virtual format and hosted by Sheryl Underwood, a host of the CBS daytime talk show "The Talk."
