The Daytime Emmy Awards are just around the corner. The ceremony honors the best in daytime television and recognizes industry legend for their contribution to the genre with the Lifetime Achievement Award. This year will honor soap’s real-life super couple, Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes of “Days of our Lives,” and television producers Sid and Marty Krofft. 

The Krofft Brothers will be celebrated at the 45th Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards which will take place on Friday, April 27th, 2018, while Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes will be celebrated on Sunday, April 29th, 2018 at the 45th Daytime Emmy Awards.  Both presentations will take place at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Southern California. 

“I’ve been star-struck by the dynamic duo of Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes for decades,” said SVP, Daytime Emmy Awards, NATAS David Michaels.  “The scope of their work across the television, film and stage landscape is amazing.  Their continuing roles of almost 50 years on “Days of Our Lives,” where they also met and married, is a Daytime story like no other.  Sid and Marty Krofft, our Daytime Creative Arts honorees, are masters of children’s television programming and have been part of my family viewing since the creation of “H.R. Pufnstuf, Sigmund & the Sea Monsters and Land Of The Lost. Their terrific variety programs such as “The Donny and Marie Series” on ABC and “Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters” have only solidified the breadth of their talent across the television spectrum.”

The Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards and The Daytime Emmy Awards recognize outstanding achievement in all fields of daytime television and are presented to individuals and programs broadcast from 2:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. during the 2017 calendar year.
