2019 DAYTIME EMMY® AWARDS NOMINEE RECEPTION


     It is a tradition that the nominees for The Daytime Emmy Awards are saluted with a Pre-Award Nominee Reception to recognize and pay tribute to those who made the cut enroute to the big dance which is The Daytime Emmy Awards.

A couple of our red carpet interview highlights included the guest below.

 
Bob Bergan
   
Nominee Bob Bergan (The Cartoon Voice of Porky Pig)

     Was it nerve racking voicing the iconic cartoon character of the new version of Porky Pig after generations have grown up listening to the legendary and original voice of Porky, Mel Blanc? Bergan smiles, “None of us sounds like the original Mel Blanc. He was the one and only. So all I try to do is keep the integrity of the character. I don’t even try to be Mel Blanc because none of us can come close to his genius.” Bergan is nomination is for Best Performance In An Animated Program as the voice of Porky Pig in “New Miggins,” on the Boomerang Cartoon Network. Bergman beams with pride saying, “We did about 300 shorts. They’ve only aired one season here in the States and it’s great writing. The producer’s name is Mack  Creig and he did most of the writing and did a brilliant job of keeping the integrity of the original characters, putting them in modern day situations which is not easy to do with classic characters. How exciting is it to have your work appreciated like this? Bergan jokes, “Other than my mom! It’s very exciting. It’s a celebration of all things TV.”
    
Dorell Anthony
 
 Dorell Anthony Actor/Producer

     Anthony is the creator/producer of the award winning digital series,  “Pride; The Series” and has a recurring guest star role on “General Hospital.” Anthony explains, “Pride; The Series” is on Amazon Prime. It is my life, my heart, my baby. Pride is really a coming of age story about a bunch of adults who are trying to find themselves. This upcoming third season which we will be announcing, has a current daytime writer who will be writing our show now. It will be a change of show to reflect more of what’s going on in the world today.

     What is Anthony’s expression on being part of the Daytime Emmys nominee’s reception? He beams with total satisfaction, “I so excited to be here supporting the Daytime genre. Its been so great and supportive to me. There’s a lot of love here tonight.” How taxing is it to be acting and producing “Pride” as well as acting on “General Hospital. When does he sleep? Anthony laughs, “It’s not taxing, it’s a blessing. There are so many people who would love to be doing what I’m able to do. And this to me is such a blessing. I can’t be tired until it’s done, I can just smile and be happy that I’m here. Because not many people get to walk across that threshold and say that they are apart of that daytime community and I am. So it is absolutely amazing.”
