Daytime Emmys: General Hospital Dominates Soap Opera Nominations, Alex Trebek Gets Posthumous Nod
Nominations for the 48th annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday, and ABC's General Hospital dominated the soap opera pack with 21 total nods.
NBC's Days of Our Lives and CBS' The Young and the Restless trailed with 11 nominations each, followed by The Bold and the Beautiful (with nine).
Also of note, the late Alex Trebek earned a posthumous nomination for Outstanding Game Show Host, for what would be his farewell run on Jeopardy. (Trebek has grabbed gold in this category seven previous times, as well as collected a Lifetime Achievement Award.) Similarly, the late Larry King earned his fourth career nomination for Informative Talk Show Host.
As part of a new, two-year deal between CBS and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), this year's Daytime Emmy Awards will air Friday, June 25 at 8 pm on CBS (and stream on Paramount+).
