"What an exciting night for the 40th Anniversary of the Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards, said Malachy Wienges, Chairman, NATAS. "Daytime television is well and prospering as witnessed by this overwhelming turnout honoring the best that television can be. Working with our production and broadcast partners, LocoDistro and the HLN Network, we've delivered an evening that truly honors the outstanding work that happens day in and day out across all the genres that make up the Daytime viewer experience."

One of the many highlights of the evening was the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award to two game show icons, Monty Hall of the original "Let's Make A Deal," and legendary producer, Bob Stewart, of "The Price is Right," "Password," and "Pyramid" fame.
