Among the nominees for Outstanding Talk Show Host are Anderson Cooper, who voiced the Narrator in the recent rival of How to Succeed, and Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa ("Live! With Regis and Kelly").

Other stage actors who received nominations include Bradford Anderson (Celebration reading) and Anthony Geary (Big Art Labs' Into the Woods) for "General Hospital"; Matthew Ashford (Music Circus' I Do! I Do!) for "Days of Our Lives"; John McCook (West Side Story) and Heather Tom (Prymate) for "The Bold and the Beautiful"; and Darnell Williams (Angels in America) for "All My Children."

Additionally, Michael Feinstein (All About Me) and Bill Schermerhorn were nominated for their song "Jolly Dream Pirates," which was featured on the 85th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; Schermerhorn and Doug Katsaros (Altar Boyz) were nominated for "(Won't You) Join Our Parade," which was also performed at the Parade.
