What It Was Like Presenting at the Daytime Emmy Awards

For the past few years, most of the time that I?ve spent on the red carpet has been working it and interviewing all the arrivals, but this past weekend I was on the other side, and got to ?werk? instead. I attended the Daytime Emmy Awards, where I walked the step-and-repeat, had people call out my name to strike a pose, hobnobbed with fellow invitees, and even presented two awards onstage with my fellow co-hosts from my upcoming syndicated talk show, FAB Life, which is debuting this fall. 

The event kicked off in the afternoon with the sun high in the sky?such a treat for this New Yorker, who was only in Los Angeles for less than 48 hours?at the Warner Bros. Studio Backlot. I was dressed to the nines in my tuxedo and flanked by the ladies?Chrissy Teigen, Lauren Makk and Leah Ashley?in their evening finest. And of course, Tyra Banks, who was hosting the show as her usual fierce self, was there, too. 

But the surreal part wasn?t the carpet. For me, it was all about being that kid who would carry his coat to last period class in grade school and run home the second the bell went off, making it to the couch in record time so he could watch Luke and Laura and the rest of the General Hospital escapades with his grandmother. Being at the Daytime Emmys wasn?t just special in terms of my career; it was personal, as well. 

However, as an attendee at an awards show as opposed to a correspondent, I did get to see how these things operate from a totally different perspective?and I even learned a few things.  

1. You can beat the heat easier as an A-lister, because you?re just moving like salmon upstream vs. being crammed behind a barrier.

2. As excited as I get, you have to avoid too many conversations on the carpet because, first of all, the salmon/people are all moving and you don?t want to be THAT guy who bottlenecks them all, and, second, that?s when the photographers take the ?candid? pictures (which are never cute?trust me, I?m a professional). 

3. Dinner isn?t served until the awards are over, but no one is eating, anyway. 

4. You don?t get to sit near Donna Mills or meet Charo in the Green Room if you?re just working the carpet. So many selfie opportunities! 

5. Ripping open the envelope to announce the winner is surreal.
