Maury Povich, the 84-year-old talk show host, received the Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Honor during the creative arts ceremony in Los Angeles. Povich, known for his tabloid-style show and previous work as a news reporter and anchor, was honored by his wife, Connie Chung, and received tributes from various celebrities. Reflecting on his career, Povich thanked his former boss, Rupert Murdoch, and expressed his focus on winning viewers rather than awards.

"The Bold and the Beautiful" actors Thorsten Kaye and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood won lead acting honors, while Susan Lucci received the Lifetime Achievement Honor for her 40-year run as Erica Kane on "All My Children." Other winners included Eden McCoy, Robert Gossett, Alley Mills, and the teams from "General Hospital," "The Young and the Restless," "Kelly Clarkson Show," and "Entertainment Tonight." The ceremony marked the return of major awards shows since the end of the Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes.
