Susan Lucci is as known for losing Emmys as she is for her legendary career as the Soap Queen. And in the near future, those two things will come together for her.
That is because the woman who was nominated 21 times, and only one once in 1999, is going to get her second Daytime Emmy. But how? All My Children hasn’t been on the air since 2011. That is because she is getting Lifetime Achievement Award at the 50th Daytime Emmys.
“I am truly humbled to receive this esteemed award from the Academy. Throughout my career, I have been incredibly fortunate to work alongside exceptional talents and embraced by my fans that have been with me every step of the way,” the actress said. “This honor is not just a reflection of my journey, but a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the profound connection we are so lucky to forge with audiences all over the world through television.”
Lucci is not the only one getting the prestigious award this year. The recently retired Maury Povich is also getting it for his work with his daytime talk show, where many found out they are the father.
“I’m just blown away by this honor from the Academy,” the host said. “I have always had great respect for its work as I served on the National Board and was President of the New York Chapter. I guess if you hang around long enough, some good things happen. It’s been a 60+ year ride for me in this business, so I feel extremely blessed with this acknowledgment.”
When will we see them get the awards? That date has yet to be decided due to the Writers Guild of America’s strike. But when a date is set, I can’t wait to see them get the honor they so richly deserve.
If ever there was a person to team with Jack in the Box to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Munchies Box, it would be Willie Nelson. I guess he wasn’t available, so they went with the second-best person, and it is Snoop Dogg.
Here is what comes in Snoop’s Munchies Box, and it is the shiznit:
Spicy Sauced and Loaded Chicken Sandwich: Two 100% all white meat spicy chicken strips, bacon crumbles, french fries, white cheese sauce, Good Good sauce & ranch on a Brioche bun? Mmm, spicy good.
Classic Taco: Why mess with something that’s already great?Crunchy taco with melty American cheese, shredded lettuce & our signature taco sauce.
Medium Curly Fries: Perfectly seasoned, crispy Curly Fries.
Baked brownie: Delicious classic dark chocolate brownie batter, mixed with semi-sweet chocolate chips? This is what we like to call a perfect match.
Sprite: (fine…or a drink of your choice)
If you want to try it, you better hurry because it is only available until August 6th. While Snoop’s Box will be going away, the $14 Build Your Own Munchie Meal Box with 1 Entree: Ultimate Cheeseburger, Jack’s Spicy Chicken, Cluck Sandwich, Double Jack, 2 Sides: 2 Tacos, Onion Rings, Halfsie Fries, Medium Curly Fries, Medium French Fries, and 1 Drink: Sodas, Shakes, Red Bull Infusions, Coffees, is here to stay!
In the late ’80s, kids were in love with the sitcom My Two Dads. So it makes sense that Gen Xers would want more. So MNJ asked Paul Reiser on Twitter if he would get a reunion.
It is not like Reiser is not down for doing sequels because he did one for Mad About You. So is he up for reprising his first big role? He said, “Not so much. :)”
I don’t know why he is so hesitant. I can see My Two Grandads being hit. I mean, Staci Kennan can take a break from being a lawyer to return to acting. And Greg Evigan is still hot! So, let’s make it a reality!
