This past Wednesday, the nominations went out for the 37th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards, which is where a lot of the kids’ shows get recognized. The big event is set for June 25 in Los Angeles, and will be taped for broadcast on CBS June 27. Who comes out on top when it comes to kids’ programming?

March 30, 2010, Los Angeles, Calif. — TV Land announced today that Golden Globe® Award-winner and Emmy®-nominated actor and comedian, Tim Allen has been tapped to host the 8th Annual TV Land Awards that are scheduled to tape on Saturday, April 17 on the historic Stage 15 on the Sony Lot in Culver City.  The show premieres on Sunday, April 25 at 9pm ET/PT. Allen was previously honored last year, when his award-winning show, Home Improvement was given the Fan Favorite Award.

“Tim Allen is a versatile and hilarious performer who fits perfectly into the plans for this year’s TV Land Awards,” stated Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. “We are thrilled to have him as our host this year.”

Tim Allen will next be heard reprising his role as Buzz Lightyear in the Disney/Pixar animated film Toy Story 3 scheduled for release on June 18, 2010. Allen was last seen on screen in his feature film directorial debut, the independent comedy Crazy on the Outside in which he starred opposite Ray Liotta and Sigourney Weaver. The film is scheduled to be released on DVD in April 2010. Allen honed his talents as a stand-up comic throughout the 1980s, providing the perfect lead-in to his very successful television series Home Improvement which ran for eight seasons on ABC. He made his film debut in 1994 in Disney’s The Santa Clause.

Honorees previously announced include the entire cast of Everybody Loves Raymond who will reunite for this year’s TV Land Awards for the first time since the death of fellow cast member Peter Boyle to receive the Impact Award. This year’s Future Classic Award will be bestowed upon Fox’s runaway hit, Glee. Previous Future Classic recipients include Desperate Housewives and Arrested Development. Mel Brooks (Blazing Saddles) and Carl Reiner (The Dick Van Dyke Show and Ocean’s Eleven) — the Renaissance Men of Comedy who started out on Your Show of Shows — will each receive the Legend Award.  This marks the first time that this award will be given to two recipients. Stars of the 1970s TV phenomenon Charlie’s Angels will be on hand to receive the Pop Culture Award and to pay tribute to their cast member Farrah Fawcett, who passed away from cancer in June 2009.

Now in its eighth year, the TV Land Awards celebrates classic and contemporary luminaries of television, music and movies. The 90-minute telecast will feature exhilarating musical performances and will reunite some of the most iconic celebrity TV casts.

How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, after his successful gig hosting this year’s Tony Awards telecast, has been confirmed as host of the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards, CBS announced today.

“We already knew Neil as a fantastic actor and performer, but after blowing everyone away as host of this year’s Tony Awards, we couldn’t think of anyone better to emcee the television industry’s biggest award show,” said Nina Tassler, president of CBS Entertainment.

“After having such a hoot hosting the Tonys,” said Harris, “I was thrilled to get the call about the Primetime Emmys. I’m looking forward to the challenge of the show — adding my own voice to it, while honoring the nominees and the entire year in television. But which voice to choose? I’m torn between gangsta, foppish Brit, and robot. Really proud of my robot. We’ll see what happens on the night.”

This year’s Emmy Awards ceremony airs live Sept. 20 on CBS.
