What if they gave an awards show, and nobody came?

Forgot all about the Daytime Emmys last night. Not that I'm alone in the ranks of the forgetful. The show has wandered off to HLN, a news channel that sometimes gets fewer viewers than GSN.

Even Hollywood Reporter, normally agog at the doings of show biz folk, called it a "low-key ceremony." That more or less means nobody cares about it but we gotta report it. The story even found time to mention a murder-suicide at the hotel where the not so high-key ceremony was held.

As a faux tweet noted, Jeopardy won for the umpteenth time as best game show. Todd Newton, who sure seems happy in his picture, won for best game show host. Somebody's been peddling rumors around the Internet that Todd's show, Family Game Night on Hub, was almost cancelled. Who knows? Anyway, he will be back for a third season, and he's now got "Emmy award winning host" on his resume.

Regis also got an award for his talk show, which he doesn't even do any more.
