Daytime Emmy Awards 2019: And the Winners were…

The 46th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which are no longer television and available to stream only, were last night at the Pacific Civic Auditorium in Pasadena. ABC’ “General Hospital” was the evening’s big winner with five trophies, followed by CBS’ “The Young and the Restless,” with three, and culinary series “Valerie’s Home Cooking,” featuring Valerie Bertinelli, with two. Syndicated series led the night with seven wins overall, followed by ABC and CBS with five each.

“CBS Sunday Morning” won for best morning program, beating “Good Morning America” (which had previously won two in a row), while “Ellen DeGeneres” once again grabbed the talk show entertainment category over last year’s winner, “The Talk.” But the most emotional win of the evening was “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek, who recently revealed his battle with pancreatic cancer, won for outstanding game show host.

Other winners  included Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest for entertainment talk show host, while Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host went to Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb for “Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda.”
