Answer: What are the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards? 

The best and brightest in daytime television gathered in Southern California on Sunday for the 46th annual show, which was hosted by Mario Lopez and Sheryl Underwood. 

The awards show honors a number of long-running programs, including Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, Sesame Street, Family Feud, Jeopardy!, Let's Make a Deal and so much more.

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest were also among the nominees for their talk show LIVE With Kelly and Ryan as well as Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan McCain, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Abby Huntsman and Sara Haines for The View.



Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek took home a big win on Sunday evening just months after revealing he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The 78-year-old said during his speech that he didn't want to win based on "sympathy votes."

He said in his remarks after winning Best Game Show Host, "I'm not a fan of sympathy votes, because I believe you should be judged on the merits of your work."

Trebek continued, "The reception I got from the audience was extremely special, very touching. We all know what's going on in my life and I alluded to that in my remarks and I've been very blessed to discover how many people our show has influenced in their lives."
