But that's not all, folks! The daytime talk show realm saw "The Kelly Clarkson Show" clinch its fourth consecutive win, proving once again why Clarkson's charm continues to captivate audiences nationwide.
And let's not forget the unforgettable opening act by Amanda Kloots and Jerry O'Connell from "The Talk," who had everyone in stitches with their hilarious song and dance routine. Plus, the heartfelt tribute to the late Johnny Wactor by the "GH" team added a touching moment to the evening.
