Who will win?
Who's been nominated?
Who will walk the red carpet?
Who's hosting?

It's official.

"The Talk's" Sheryl Underwood will host the "48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards" Friday, June 25
from 8 to 11 p.m. on the CBS Television Network and Paramount Plus. This will be the fifth time Underwood has hosted the popular daytime event, but the first flying solo. 

"I'm very excited about doing the show by myself," she explained during a live broadcast of "The Talk." "I grew up watching Daytime TV. I love Daytime TV. I'm really excited for all the nominees. And, I can't wait for the big night."

As predicted, ABC's "General Hospital" received the most nominations with 21, followed by NBC's "Days of Our Lives" and CBS's "The Young and the Restless" with 11 nominations each. CBS's "The Bold and the Beautiful" nabbed nine nominations.

"Daytime television provides a source of comfort and continuity made possible by these nominees' dedicated efforts and sense of community," said Adam Sharp,  President & CEO of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. "Their commitment to excellence and demonstrated love for their audience never cease to brighten our days. And we are delighted to join with CBS in celebrating their talents."

The June 25 telecast marks the 15th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Television Emmy Awards, more than any other network.

"As a leader in daytime, we are thrilled to welcome back the Daytime Emmy Awards," said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials, Music and Live Events for CBS. "Daytime television has been keeping viewers engaged and entertained for many years. So it is with great pride that we look forward to celebrating the best of the genre here on CBS."
