Mario Lopez is set to host the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards taking place on Oct. 17 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California.
The hosting gig is part of an exclusive collaboration between the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) and Access Hollywood, as Lopez serves as a co-host of the latter.
Beginning Oct. 13, Access Hollywood will host five nights of dedicated Daytime Emmys segments leading up to the awards show. Then, following the show, on Oct. 20, Access will recap the awards ceremony with red carpet moments, winner reactions and exclusive footage.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Access Hollywood and having Mario Lopez host this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards,” says NATAS president and CEO Adam Sharp. “As a beloved figure in daytime television himself, Mario brings the perfect blend of energy, familiarity, and star power to the stage.”
NATAS also on Wednesday announced the gold and silver circle honorees, who, according to the organization “are exceptional professionals who have performed distinguished service within the television industry, setting standards for achievement, mentoring, leadership and professional accolades for 50 or 25 years, respectively. They represent the best and brightest in the industry.”
Additionally, for the first time since 2018, there will be a limited number of tickets available for the show for public purchase. Tickets are now on sale, starting at $75, through Ticketmaster.
Sharp added: “We’re also honored to celebrate this year’s gold and silver circle honorees — television professionals whose dedication and exceptional talent have shaped the landscape of daytime storytelling. Finally, we’re excited to be able to open the doors to Daytime fans after years of requests for an in-person audience.”
