Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series
The Daytime Emmy Award for Daytime Talk Series, originally called Outstanding Talk Show, is an award presented annually by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to honor daytime talk shows. It was first presented as the Outstanding Talk Show award at the 1st Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony held in 1974.
From the 35th Daytime Emmy Awards in 2008 to the 49th Daytime Emmy Awards in 2022, the award was divided into two specific categories: Outstanding Talk Show—Informative, honoring talk shows that were more informative in nature, and Outstanding Talk Show—Entertainment, honoring those 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.
In the lists below, the winner of the award for each year is shown first, followed by the other nominees.
