Susan Lucci’s Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award Will Be A Full-Circle Moment

According to Michael Fairman TV, Susan Lucci will be presented with the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2023 ceremony. What will make the moment even more special is that “The Young and the Restless” alum Shemar Moore will be the one presenting the award to her. As many soap opera fans can recall, it was Moore who also handed Lucci her very first Daytime Emmy Award back in 1999. She told Entertainment Weekly in an interview back in 2020 that when Moore called out her name as the winner, she didn’t hear him. Lucci recalled, “I started to black out. I don’t know if it was self-protective. My biggest fear [was] that someday, I might just think they called my name and go up there.”

When Moore exclaimed that Lucci’s losing streak was over, it became one of the most memorable moments in Daytime Emmy Award history. Here’s hoping that Lucci will hear her name both loud and clear when Moore calls her name onto the stage this year, because it will be a moment worth remembering.
