The 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards, will be airing live on television, on CBS, June 26, 2020. However, due to COVID-19, this year’s awards ceremony will be virtual. Hosting this year’s virtual awards ceremony is veteran Daytime Emmy host Mario Lopez.

The multi-talented Lopez, looks to be everywhere at once. While the Access Hollywood co-host just finished filming the Saved by the Bell reboot for the NBC Universal streaming service Peacock TV, Lopez is currently in Carson City, Nevada, filming the Lifetime’s Christmas rom-com Feliz NaviDad. This is one of the first movie sets to begin shooting since the initial Covid-19 outbreak. Lopez will be hosting the first televised Daytime Emmy Awards show, after a five-year on-screen hiatus.

Along with Lopez, Latino representation is visible as nominees in a diversity of categories from animation to talk show programs.
