As much of the Emmy folks would like to consider the lifetime
achievement awards to Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek (in exchange for their
names not in the game show host category this year) the highlight of
the evening, the true highlight will be seeing if the cast and staff
of "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" (and "General Hospital,"
if the Katie Couric rumors are true) will be dumping on ABC and Disney
for the cancellation of those shows (yeah, the "Guiding Light" and "As
the World Turns" people were gracious, but I think they knew the
cancellations were coming)--June 19 from Vegas on CBS with your host
Wayne Brady:

Also notable is that several nominations were given to "The Rally to
Restore Sanity and/or Fear" (which was a live telecast on a Saturday
afternoon, therefore making it a daytime show)--presumably the Emmy
people are hoping that Stewart and Colbert will show up.

And for the record, with Trebek and Sajak not in it, the other game
show host nominees are Ben Bailey ("Cash Cab"), Todd Newton (The Hub's
"Family Game Night"), Brady ("Let's Make a Deal," in case you've
forgotten) and Meredith Vieira.
