The win is the 11th in the category for “The Young and the Restless,” placing it two behind the all-time leader, “General Hospital.”
The broadcast was hosted by Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Carrie Ann Inaba and Marie Osmond from “The Talk.” Their show lost to “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in the Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show category, while “The View” won the Emmy for Outstanding Informative Talk Show. The award for Outstanding Entertainment News Show went to “Entertainment Tonight.”
The Outstanding Game Show Emmy was given to “Jeopardy!” for the record 17th time. (“The $20,000 Pyramid” and its successor, “The $25,000 Pyramid,” are second with nine total wins.)
