‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ Leads All Talk Shows in 2023 Daytime Emmy Nods

Daytime Emmy voters are obviously fans of Kellyoke — and the rest of the show that surrounds that popular segment. The Kelly Clarkson Show leads all talk series with 11 2023 Daytime Emmy nominations.

The show, which has won daytime talk series the last two years running, is nominated in that category again this year, where it faces returning nominees The Drew Barrymore Show, Live With Kelly and Ryan and Today With Hoda and Jenna as well as first-time nominee The Jennifer Hudson Show.

Kelly Clarkson has won daytime talk series host the last three years in a row. She’s nominated in that category again this year, where she faces returning nominees Drew Barrymore; Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest; Tamron Hall, a two-time winner for informative talk show host for her syndicated Tamron Hall before the categories were realigned this year; and Sherri Shepard, for the syndicated Sherri!

Ripa, like Clarkson, has won three times in this category. She and Seacrest took the award four years ago. She won in 2015 and 2016 while co-hosting Live with Michael Strahan. Seacrest recently departed Live after a six-year run. Hudson became an EGOT at the 2022 Tony Awards.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominees for the 50th annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Wednesday (April 26). ABC’s General Hospital led all programs with 19 nominations.

Zac Efron is nominated for daytime program host for Down to Earth With Zac Efron, while his Netflix show of the same name is nominated for travel, adventure and nature program.

Selena + Chef, starring Selena Gomez, was nominated for culinary series, though Gomez was not nominated for culinary host.

Variety received two nominations in the arts and popular culture program category, for the Lifetime special Variety Power of Women: Changemakers and the PBS series Variety Studio: Actors on Actors. The other nominees in that category are Kings of Leon @ O2 (YouTube), American Anthems (PBS), My Bluegrass Story (RFD-TV) and Working in the Theatre (AmericanTheatreWing).

“Today we not only honor this year’s outstanding programs and individuals, we mark a milestone in television history,” NATAS president & CEO Adam Sharp said in a statement. “Our golden anniversary celebrates the talented creators who have made the last 50 years of daytime television so unforgettable.”

The Daytime Emmys will air live on CBS and stream live on Paramount + on June 16. This will mark the 17th time CBS has broadcast the show.

In a highly unusual scheduling move, The Daytime Creative Arts and Lifestyle Emmy ceremony will stream live the day after the main telecast – on June 17 – at Watch.TheEmmys.TV and via The Emmys apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, FireTV and Roku. Both ceremonies will be held at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles.

The Daytime Emmys are produced by NATAS and Associated Television International. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.

Here’s a selected list of 2023 Daytime Emmy nominees, with a focus on names most relevant to the music community.
