    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    The team of Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan is going out on top with Emmy gold.

    The "Live with Kelly and Michael" duo won the Daytime Emmy Award for best entertainment talk show host on Sunday, capping a tumultuous two weeks that began with Strahan's announced departure for "Good Morning America" and Ripa's reaction.

    Neither Ripa or Strahan showed up at the non-televised ceremony in Los Angeles to claim the award, their second consecutive one in the category for their syndicated show.

    Ripa reportedly had been upset that she learned only a few minutes before the public that Strahan, a former football star and her co-host since 2012, was exiting for "GMA."

    She subsequently took several days off from "Live" and, when she returned, said she'd needed to gather her thoughts and that "apologies have been made," although she didn't specify by who. Strahan is set to leave May 13.

    CBS' "The Talk" won the award for best entertainment talk show, while ABC's "The Chew" received the informative talk show trophy. Syndicated series "Extra" picked up the best entertainment news program award.

    ABC's "General Hospital" was the big winner at the 43rd Daytime Emmy ceremony with five trophies, including best drama series and awards for lead actor Tyler Christopher, supporting actor Sean Blakemore and younger actor in a drama Bryan Craig. A best directing team award also went to the series.

    Sonia Manzano received a lifetime achievement honor in recognition of her portrayal of the character Maria on "Sesame Street."

    CBS' "The Price is Right" was honored as best game show, while Craig Ferguson won as game show host for "Celebrity Name Game."

    "CBS Sunday Morning" earned the best morning program award.

    Mary Beth Evans of NBC's "Days of Our Lives" received the trophy for lead drama series actress, while co-star True O'Brien won as outstanding younger actress. Jessica Collins of CBS' "The Young and the Restless" was honored as best supporting actress in a drama.

    The guest performer trophy went to Obba Babatunde for CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful," which also received an Emmy for its writing team.

    Dr. Mehmet Oz won the award for informative talk show host for "The Dr. Oz Show."

    Gabriela Natale, host of "SuperLatina with Gaby Natale," was honored as best talent for a Spanish-language program and the show won best entertainment show in Spanish. "Cafe CNN" won the Emmy for best morning show in Spanish.

    Saylor, the Los Angeles–based creative agency known for crafting entertainment-led advertising, has made two key new hires: Harris Sherman as head of production, and Brian Freia as creative director, campaigns.

    “As attention gets harder to earn, brands must think and act differently to break through. They have to operate like creators,” said Will Trowbridge, founder and CEO, Saylor. “Harris and Brian bring exactly the mix of bold ideas, production rigor, and entertainment knowledge needed to help our clients not just show up, but truly make waves.”

    Sherman joins as head of production to command Saylor’s growing studio operations. He will lead the wider production division while expanding the creator team’s capabilities--creating a production engine built to deliver studio-quality content at the speed of social. He brings extensive production leadership experience--including senior roles at React Media and All Def Media, and most recently as VP of production & operations at Wildcatter--and has a proven track record of scaling teams and operations, driving audience growth, and building infrastructure for high-quality, multi-platform content.

    “At Saylor, we’re helping brands create the content people seek out, rather than the ads they scroll past,” said Sherman. “That requires a different kind of production muscle. I look forward to building an environment where we can execute ambitious ideas with the polish of a studio and the pace of a creator.”

    As creative director, campaigns, Freia leads Saylor’s teams to develop innovative, culture-driven work and oversees projects from concept through execution to ensure campaigns are ambitious, strategically sound, and designed to perform across platforms. He brings... Read More
