'Jeopardy!' and 'Password' favored to win Game Show categories at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards


I closed 'Shogun' and 'The Bear' win six 2024 Gold Derby TV Awards each by telling my readers "Stay tuned for more Emmy coverage tomorrow" then asking "Game show nominees, anyone?" Here are the nominees at the 76th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
Outstanding Game Show
  • Celebrity Family Feud (ABC)
  • Jeopardy! (ABC / Syndicated)
  • Password (NBC)
  • The Price Is Right at Night (CBS)
  • Wheel of Fortune (ABC / Syndicated)
Jeopardy! won last year and an overwhelming majority of the editors, along with all the experts so far, and every top 24 user at Gold Derby think it will repeat. Only one remaining editor thinks that the Television Academy will award Wheel of Fortune an Emmy because of Pat Sajak's retirement. Because of the Gold Derby odds, I'm sharing Jeopardy!'s Twitter/X image promoting the show's two nominations.


Now for the nominated game show hosts.

Outstanding Host for a Game Show
  • Steve Harvey – Celebrity Family Feud (ABC)
  • Ken Jennings – Jeopardy! (ABC / Syndicated)
  • Jane Lynch – Weakest Link (NBC)
  • Keke Palmer – Password (NBC)
  • Pat Sajak – Wheel of Fortune (ABC / Syndicated)
Keke Palmer won last year and she's favored again this year, with large majorities of Gold Derby editors, experts, and top 24 user voting for her to repeat. Minorities of each group are choosing Pat Sajak because of his retirement. I'd rather see Palmer repeat, so here's Password's Twitter/X image promoting its nominations.


That's a wrap for today. The logical next post would be TV Movies because Quiz Lady earned a nomination, but that will have to wait until after World Mosquito Day. Stay tuned.
