46th annual Daytime Emmy Awards: Winners list
(CNN) — ” General Hospital ” was a big winner at Sunday’s 46th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which included a tribute to the late ” Young and the Restless ” actor Kristoff St. John and a standing ovation for ” Jeopardy ” host Alex Trebek .
The ABC soap opera took home five awards, followed by three for ” Young and the Restless ” including outstanding drama series.
Trebek , who was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, received a standing ovation as he took to the stage to accept the award for outstanding game show host for his work on ” Jeopardy! ”
He joked that he worried he may have received the sympathy vote, but said he didn’t win last year despite having undergone life-saving surgery to remove blood clots on his brain.
” Maybe I’ve been worrying about the wrong thing and I should just do what Sally Field did in a different venue many, many years ago and look at this as a sign you guys like me and that you value my work, ” Trebek said during his acceptance speech. ” If that’s the case, I can live with that. ”
St. John, who died of heart disease in February at the age of 52, was remembered by his former ” Young and the Restless ” co-star Shemar Moore who went off script to thank CBS for the tribute they aired for the pioneering African-American daytime actor.
Moore paid tribute to his longtime friend.
” Kristoff was in the game 28 years, ” Moore said. ” He wasn’t just in the game, he changed the game. ” He opened the door for so many of us, myself and a lot of you out there whether you know it or not. ”
