Conclusion
Although not as prolific as the Primetime Emmy Awards, the Daytime Emmy Awards has amassed quite a following of its own. The most anticipated awards of the year are usually the daytime talk series awards, with popular shows like The Talk, The View, Rachael Ray, and Live! With Regis and Kelly having all taken home awards over the years. The Ellen DeGeneres Show currently holds the record for most Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Talk Show, with seven wins and eleven total nominations. However, this being The Kelly Clarkson Show’s fourth consecutive win, we’ll have to see if she can surpass DeGeneres one day.
