Elsewhere, The Ellen DeGeneres Show took home the award for best talk show for a second consecutive year, while The Dr. Oz Show was named best informative talk show.

The category for best talk show host saw a tie between Dr. Mehmet Oz of The Dr. Oz Show and retiring host Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa for Live With Regis and Kelly.

The best game show category also saw a tie, with Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune each being recognized. Ben Bailey of Discovery Channel’s Cash Cab was named best game show host for the second year in a row, but the host had a bit of a snafu as he was in the bathroom when his name was called.

The 38th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, hosted by Wayne Brady, aired live on CBS from the Las Vegas Hilton.
