LOS ANGELES – Dick Van Dyke Friday night became the oldest Daytime Emmy winner at 98, winning for best guest performer in a daytime drama series.

“I don’t believe this. I feel like I’m a spy from nighttime television!,” he said from the stage at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles after being honored for his portrayal of amnesiac Timothy Robicheaux on four episodes of “Days of Our Lives.”

The other nominees were Guy Pearce for “Neighbours,” Linden Ashby for “The Young and the Restless,” Ashley Jones for “The Bold and the Beautiful” and Alley Mills for “General Hospital.”

The Daytime Emmy was the second for Van Dyke, who also won in 1984 for outstanding performer in children’s programming for supplying the voice of the father in the 1983 animated episode of the anthology “CBS Library,” “Wrong Way Kid.”

Van Dyke is also a four-time Primetime Emmy winner, three for performing on his 1961-66 CBS comedy “The Dick Van Dyke Show” and once for his 1976 NBC variety show “Van Dyke and Company.”

ABC’s “General Hospital” won for best daytime drama series for the fourth consecutive year, increasing its record total in the category to 16.

“General Hospital” won over a field that also consisted of CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless”; Popstar!’s “The Bay,” Peacock’s “Days of Our Lives,” and Amazon’s “Neighbours.”

“General Hospital” also won for best writing team and best directing team.

“The Kelly Clarkson Show,” won for best daytime talk series for the fourth consecutive year, beating out “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” “Tamron Hall,” “Turning the Tables with Robin Roberts” and “The View.”

Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa from “Live! with Kelly and Mark” won for best daytime talk series host. The win was the first in the category for Consuelos while Ripa, his wife, won for the second time. She also won in 2012 with the late Regis Philbin when they hosted “Live! with Regis and Kelly.”

The other nominees were Clarkson, Hall, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro of “The View,” and the hosts of “The Talk” — Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood — whose cancellation was announced in April by CBS, but will continue to run through December.

Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner of “Entertainment Tonight” hosted the 2024 Daytime Emmy Awards and won for best daytime personality — daily with  their colleagues Matt Cohen, Cassie DiLaura, Denny Directo, Will Marfuggi and Rachel Smith.

“The Young and the Restless” star Melody Thomas Scott and her husband, Edward J. Scott, supervising producer of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” received Lifetime Achievement awards as did host/cookbook author Lidia Batianich.

Additional awards will be presented Saturday at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in the Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards ceremony.
