The Kelly Clarkson Show and The View each received nominations in both daytime talk categories—Outstanding Daytime Talk Series and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host—for the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards. The 53rd annual awards ceremony is scheduled to take place on Oct. 30 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles.
Kelly Clarkson has earned nominations in both categories during each of the seven seasons of her daytime talk show, which is set to conclude with its current season. Over that span, she has claimed four wins in both categories.
The nominated hosts representing The View are Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro. Behar and Goldberg were also part of the hosting panel when the long-running program’s hosts received the award in 2009. The View previously won Outstanding Daytime Talk Series in 2003 and Outstanding Talk Show — Informative in 2020.
Also nominated for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series are Live With Kelly and Mark, which captured the award last year; The Drew Barrymore Show, which is still seeking its first win in the category; and two spin-offs of The Today Show: 3rd Hour of Today, hosted by Craig Melvin, Al Roker and Dylan Dreyer, and Today With Jenna & Friends, the show’s fourth-hour program, which featured Jenna Bush Hager alongside a rotating lineup of guest co-hosts throughout the season.
The remaining nominees for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host are Tamron Hall for Tamron Hall, Jennifer Hudson for The Jennifer Hudson Show, and Sherri Shepherd for Sherri. Shepherd previously won in the category in 2009 as one of the co-hosts of The View.
The two most recent recipients of the Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host award—Drew Barrymore, who won in 2025, and Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, who received the honor in 2024—were not nominated in the category this year.
