Don’t Miss this Year’s Daytime Emmys

I’m looking back on some of the times I’ve attended the Daytime Emmys as a guest of my friend and The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences – Pacific Southwest Chapter colleague MaryEllen Eagelston.  

On the red carpet with the Golden Lady; meeting Dr. Oz; with Austin Resser, and my NATAS-PSW colleagues, MaryEllen Eagelston and Donn Johnson.

The Daytime Emmys are always so much fun! I love the red carpet experience, the rush of excitement and mingling with some if TV’s best talent, who work in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

Meeting “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak; the red carpet; and soap opera actress Susan Lucci

This year’s Daytime Emmys show will air tonight, Friday, June 25, 2021 at 8 pm Eastern on CBS TV. I’ll be watching! Will you? 🎉

Meeting “Young and the Restless” actors (L-R) Daniel Goddard and Bryton James; the table decor at the Emmy Awards; sitting next to (L-R) Vanessa Lachey, Nick Lachey and Curtis Stone; and hanging out with the NATAS crew, including L-R Fernando Duran, MaryEllen Eagelston and Terry O’Reilly, the chairman of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Back row: Soledad O’Brien and David Burt.

Still soaking up the National Academy of Arts and Sciences Pacific Southwest (NATAS-PSW) Emmy Awards. I love being president of this chapter. 

While I was honored to be nominated for “Outstanding Achievement for Special Events Coverage” of last year’s virtual show, I did not receive an Emmy Award this year. However, I had so much fun on the pre-show Zoom and participating in the virtual awards. 

Then on Saturday we distributed the statues at Viejas Casino and Resort. A photographer snapped red carpet pictures and a videographer recorded acceptance speeches. We also enjoyed a little swag – check out the delicious popcorn gifted by Popped Gourmet Popcorn.
