Craig Ferguson Among Daytime Emmy Award Winners

Last night marked the return of the Daytime Emmy Awards to television with the live broadcast airing on Pop Network, formerly known as the TV Guide Network. Highlights from the 42nd edition of the annual awards ceremony included Days of Our Lives and The Young and The Restless tying for Outstanding Drama Series, Betty White honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award and Craig Ferguson winning his first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host on Celebrity Name Game. Ferguson bested Steve Harvey, Todd Newton and Pat Sajak to win the award. 

Game Shows To Watch For The Next 48 Hours

This week seems like a moderately busy one for game shows — well, at least for the next two days. Tomorrow,  HLN premieres its first-ever game show, Keywords, with former Figure It Out host Summer Sanders and CBS's daytime talk show The Talk revealing this year’s Daytime Emmy nominations including the nominees for “Outstanding Game Show Host” and “Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show”. On April Fools Day, both CBS daytime game shows, Let’s Make A Deal and The Price Is Right, are marking the occasion by hosting special episodes featuring the cast of LMAD kidnapping Drew Carey and legendary host Bob Barker stopping by set of TPIR. Later that evening, Idiotest returns for a second season. I also have news of a last-minute decision by GSN to pull Monopoly Millionaires’ Club.
