Host Ken Jennings is happy to show his support for the “Jeopardy!” team.

On Friday, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) 2022 Daytime Emmy Awards were handed out during an in-person ceremony. The event, which aired on CBS, was hosted by Entertainment Tonight‘s Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner. Their show actually won the award for best entertainment news series.

'General Hospital' Won Big At The 2022 Daytime Emmys!

ABC’s “General Hospital” was the big winner of the night with five wins for best drama series, supporting actor (Jeff Kober), actress (Kelly Thiebaud), and young performer (Nicholas Chavez) in a drama series, and the show’s writing team.

But “Jeopardy!” fans were delighted to see “Jeopardy!” win the outstanding game show prize over “Family Feud,” “Let’s Make A Deal,” “The Price is Right,” and “Wheel of Fortune.” Neither Ken Jennings nor his co-host Mayim Bialik were nominated for best game show host. Sony has yet to make a decision as to who will become the show’s next permanent host, but a decision is expected in late July or early August.
