4th Daytime Emmy Awards
The 4th Daytime Emmy Awards were held Thursday, May 12, 1977, on NBC to commemorate excellence in daytime programming from the previous year. The live coverage held from Tavern on the Green restaurant in Central Park, New York. The fourth awards only had three categories, and thus three awards were given. Hosts were Peter Marshall, Chuck Woolery, Victoria Wyndham, Jack Gilford, and Soupy Sales with a special guest appearance by Gilda Radner of Saturday Night Live. Telecast from 3-4:30 p.m., the awards preempted Another World and The Gong Show.
