The Kelly Clarkson Show leads Daytime Talk with 11 noms, Jennifer Hudson snubbed in host category
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) has revealed the nominees for the 50th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards. The main Daytime Emmy® Awards telecast is scheduled to air live at 9 PM EDT (with a replay at 9 PM PDT) on Friday, June 16 on CBS and will also be available to stream on Paramount+. The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy® Awards will follow on Saturday, June 17 and will be streamed on the NATAS OTT channel. Both ceremonies will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles.
Leading the pack in talk-show-related categories, The Kelly Clarkson Show earned the most nominations across daytime talk categories, with a total of 11 nods. Kelly Clarkson herself received a nomination for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host. She is joined in that category by several familiar faces, including Drew Barrymore of The Drew Barrymore Show, which picked up multiple nominations; Tamron Hall, nominated for her work on Tamron Hall; Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest for Live with Kelly and Ryan (notably Seacrest stepped down from his co-host role this spring); and Sherri Shepherd for Sherri!.
Although Jennifer Hudson’s series The Jennifer Hudson Show collected six nominations overall, Hudson did not receive a nomination in the Best Talk Series Host category. The omission has drawn attention given the series’ strong presence in other technical and creative categories.
Below are the key daytime talk and technical categories and their nominees as announced by NATAS. For the full list of nominations, consult the official Daytime Emmys announcement from the academy.
