The organization honored Mike in the “Interview/Discussion – Long Form” category. However, they postponed the actual ceremony out of respect for the WGA writer’s strike. “The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards planned for Friday, June 16 on CBS is postponed due to the WGA strike,” the National Academy for Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) said in an official statement. “In addition, the Creative Arts & Lifestyle ceremony, planned for Saturday, June 17, has been postponed pending a strike resolution. We look forward to our community gathering together as one to celebrate our Golden Anniversary and all of the talented nominees and honorees at a later date.” Check out Mike's post acknowledging the win below.
