The 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards were a night of celebration and laughter with some familiar faces, and a few long-overdue firsts!
On Friday, Oct. 30, Tracee Ellis Ross had an especially sweet moment, taking home her very first Emmy for Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross, which won Outstanding Travel and Adventure Program. After years of Emmy nominations for Black-ish, the actress can finally add “Emmy winner” to her lengthy resume.
