The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host, originally called Outstanding Talk Show Host, is an award presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) to honor daytime talk show hosts.
It was first presented as the Outstanding Talk Show Host award at the 1st Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony held in 1974. From the 42nd Daytime Emmy Awards in 2015 to the 49th Daytime Emmy Awards in 2022, the award was divided into two specific categories: Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host, honoring hosts of talk shows that were more informative in nature, and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host, honoring hosts of talk shows that were more entertainment in nature. In 2023, the NATAS merged the two specific categories back into one, under the new official name Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host.[1]
In the lists below, the winner of the award for each year is shown first, followed by the other nominees.
The award was split into Talk Show Host—Informative and Talk Show Host—Entertainment.
The two separate Informative and Entertainment awards were merged back into a single Daytime Talk Series Host award.
