48th Daytime Emmy Awards: Alex Trebek and Larry King get posthumous nominations



The nominees among 40 categories for the 48th annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday by The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.

Winners will be revealed during a live broadcast and on social media on Friday, June 25.

Both Alex Trebek and Larry King have received posthumous nominations; Trebek for Outstanding Game Show Host and King for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host.

Trebek died in November aged 80 after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He had hosted the long-running quiz show Jeopardy! for more than three decades. King, known for his Larry King Live show, died in January aged 87 from sepsis.

The Jeopardy! host has been nominated a whopping 31 times for Outstanding Game Show Host, winning seven times, most recently in 2019 and 2020.

As for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host, the category has only been around since 2015 and King has since been nominated four times, but has yet to win. He was awarded the Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011, however.

In other categories, Drew Barrymore and Hot Ones host Sean Evans also both earned their first Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host, an award Kelly Clarkson took home last year and is also again up for, for her eponymous show, which scored six nods.

Overall, General Hospital, the longest-running American soap, led the pack, with a total of 21 nominations, followed by fellow soaps The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives, which got 11 each.
