The 2022 Daytime Emmy Awards are set to be handed out Friday in a two-hour telecast hosted by Entertainment Tonight duo Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner that will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ at 6 p.m. ET/PT. The ceremony takes place at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, with the show in-person again after being virtual the past two years.
The Daytime Emmys’ Creative Arts and Lifestyle ceremony took place last week, setting the stage for Friday’s main event. Soaps The Young and the Restless, General Hospital and Days of Our Lives pace this year’s field with 18, 17 and 11 nominations apiece, respectively; all are up in the Outstanding Daytime Drama Series race along with CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful and Peacock’s Days spinoff Beyond Salem.
