Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lifestyle/Culinary Show Host
Beginning in 2013, The Daytime Emmy Awards currently give out two awards to honor hosts of culinary and lifestyle etc. programming. The categories are Outstanding Culinary Host and Outstanding Daytime Program Host. The category originated in 1994 and was known as the Outstanding Service Host. Prior to that, hosts of service and craft shows would compete in the Outstanding Talk Show Host category. In 2007, the category name was changed to Outstanding Lifestyle Host and was changed again in 2009 to Outstanding Lifestyle/Culinary Host.
