Dick Van Dyke Makes History as Oldest Daytime Emmys Winner Ever, at 98


Dick Van Dyke won the 2024 Daytime Emmy award for guest performer in a daytime drama series — via his spot on Peacock's "Days of Our Lives."

Night one of the 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards took place live on CBS on Friday, June 7, from the Westin Bonaventure hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. Van Dyke beat out a nominee field that included Linden Ashby as Cameron Kirsten, “The Young and the Restless” (CBS); Ashley Jones as Dr. Bridget Forrester, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (CBS); Alley Mills as Heather Webber, “General Hospital” (ABC); and Guy Pearce as Mike Young, “Neighbours” (Amazon Freevee). The CBS birthday special will return to the iconic set of “The Dick Van Dyke Show” as well as feature archival footage from across Van Dyke’s career, encompassing “Mary Poppins,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” and more.
