Alex Trebek, Larry King’s Children Accept Posthumous Emmys For Their Late Dads

Alex Trebek and Larry King’s children have accepted posthumous Emmys on behalf of their late dads. “Over the past 37 years the show became a second family,” Trebek’s daughter, Emily, said at the 48th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, alongside her brother Matthew. “He was always excited to go to work, even during his battle with cancer. He was so fortunate that he was able to do what he loved and we know he not once took it for granted. So on behalf of our family we thank you so much.”

Trebek won the Emmy for outstanding game show host and King for outstanding informative talk show host. King’s sons, Chance and Cannon, accepted the award. “This last season was a testament to his love for broadcasting,” Chance said. “And as much as he is gone, he is with us in our hearts forever. We love you so much, dad.”
