As you all know, Steve Harvey is the hardest working man in showbiz; and it looks like Hollywood has taken notice. By hosting his daily radio show, hosting his own talk show, hosting the game show The Family Feud its a wonder he has time for anything else.
Well today the list of nominations were released for the Daytime Emmy Awards and Harvey was listed in two categories; for Hosting his talk show and hosting Family Feud. This has never happened before in television history and we took notice! (Granted no one has ever had their own talk show and hosted a game show during the same season, but that’s besides the point!)
Congratulations goes out to a comedian who continues to make comedy history!
Here is the article for Emmy nods from Variety;
With “The Young and the Restless” paving the way, CBS led all networks with 50 nominations Wednesday for the 40th annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
“Young” had 23 nominations for the Daytime Emmys, set for broadcast by HLN on June 16 from the Beverly Hilton, followed by ABC’s “General Hospital” with 19 and 17 apiece for NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” and PBS’ “Sesame Street.”
Among talkshows, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” was tops with 10 noms.
PBS was second among the networks with 44 nominations, while ABC was third with 38. Syndicated programs had 37 nominations.
Nickelodeon had 36 nominations, including four of the five nods for top children’s animated program, compared with 17 noms for the Hub (its most ever), 11 for Cartoon Network and 11 combined for Disney Channel and Disney XD.
Nominated for top drama were “Young,” “Days,” “General,” CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” (15 total noms) and ABC’s “One Life To Live” (three noms). “General” was the big winner in 2012 with five Daytime Emmys, including top drama.
Lead actor nominations went to Peter Bergman, Doug Davidson and Michael Muhney of “Young” and Jason Thompson of “General.” Lead actress nods were reserved for Susan Flannery and Heather Tom of “Bold,” Peggy McCay of “Days” and Michelle Stafford of “Young.”
