The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards honored the best in daytime TV, including talk shows, soap operas, travel and culinary programs and more. And it was also a historic night.
Dick Van Dyke made history after becoming the oldest actor at 98 years old to win a Daytime Emmy Award. He scored in the Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama Series category for his role as Mystery Man/Timothy Robicheaux on Days of Our Lives.
“Am I really the oldest? I didn’t know I was the oldest,” Van Dyke exclusively told ET ahead of the night’s festivities. “I’ll be darn. I think I’m the last of my generation, really. I’m 98. I have almost all my marbles. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast.”
The night also belonged to General Hospital, which hauled in the most awards with four Daytime Emmys for Best Directing, Best Writing, Best Support Performance and Best Drama Series.
The ceremony — held at Los Angeles’ Westin Bonaventure Hotel on June 7 — was hosted by ET’s own Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner, marking the third year in a row that the co-hosts have helmed the star-studded ceremony.
A 2023 Daytime Emmy winner, Entertainment Tonight made a bit of history as well after bringing home the first-ever Outstanding Daytime Personality Emmy. ET also won in the Outstanding Entertainment News Series category for the fifth straight year and ninth overall.
Night two featured the Daytime Emmy Creative Arts & Lifestyle Awards held on Saturday.
