Walt Disney Television/Paula Lobo(LOS ANGELES) — The 46th annual Daytime Emmy Awards took place Sunday at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, hosted by Extra’s Mario Lopez and The Talk‘s Sheryl Underwood. Big winners included daytime soap The Young and the Restless for Outstanding Drama Series, Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host for Live with Kelly and Ryan, and Jeopardy! emcee Alex Trebek for Outstanding Game Show Host.

Trebek’s win came in the wake of his announcement in March that he has stage four pancreatic cancer. Accepting the award, Trebek, who’ss hosted the syndicated show for more than 30 years, admitted worrying about how the sympathy vote would impact his win.

“I’m not a big fan of sympathy votes. We should be judged on the merits of our work,” he explained. “However, last year, I had just had major surgery to remove two life-threatening blood clots. You think that would elicit a certain amount of sympathy. But I didn’t win, so maybe I’ve been worrying about the wrong thing.”

“So I’ll do what Sally Field did [at the Oscars],” he continued. “You guys like me, and you value my work. I tell you if that’s the case, I can live with that.”

Trebek, 78, has suffered a number of health issues during his Jeopardy! tenure. He suffered a mild heart attack in 2012 and underwent knee surgery in 2015.

Other winners from Sunday’s ceremony included Ellen DeGeneres, for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show, and Rachel Ray, for Outstanding Informative Talk Show. Family Feud took home the award for Outstanding Game Show.
