�GREY�S ANATOMY� STARS CHANDRA WILSON, KATE WALSH, JAMES PICKENS, JR., AS WELL AS TALK SHOW HOSTS RACHEL RAY AND TYRA BANKS, ARE CONFIRMED PRESENTERS FOR �THE 33rd ANNUAL DAYTIME EMMY� AWARDS,� FRIDAY, APRIL 28 ON ABC

A Musical Trio from �One Life to Live� to Perform Songs from Broadway

And Will Presenters Barbara Walters, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones Reynolds, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck Finally Win the Emmy for �Outstanding Talk Show Host?�

Chandra Wilson, Kate Walsh and James Pickens, Jr. of ABC�s hit medical drama, �Grey�s Anatomy,� plus Rachel Ray (�The Rachel Ray Show�) and Tyra Banks (�The Tyra Banks Show�) are among the stellar lineup of scheduled presenters for ABC�s live broadcast of �The 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,� FRIDAY, APRIL 28 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT, tape-delayed to the West Coast), it was announced today by Brian Frons, president, ABC Daytime, and Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss, executive producers of the program.

A musical trio from the �One Life to Live� talent of Renee Goldsberry (Disney�s �The Lion King,� �The Color Purple�), Kathy Brier (�Hairspray�) and Kerry Butler (�Hairspray,� �Little Shop of Horrors�) will perform a selection of show-stopping numbers from the Broadway songbook.

Additional presenters include Judge Judy Sheindlin (�Judge Judy�); Susan Lucci, Thorsten Kaye, Alicia Minshew, Jacob Young, Alexa Havins, Justin Bruening and Cady McClain of �All My Children�; Erika Slezak, Kassie DePavia, Kamar de los Reyes, Bree Williamson and Forbes March of �One Life to Live�; Anthony Geary, Maurice Benard, Laura Wright, Emma Samms, Tristan Rogers, Kimberly McCullough, Jason Thompson, Natalia Livingston, Rebecca Herbst and Finola Hughes of �General Hospital�; co-hosts Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway (�Soap Talk�); Galen Gering and McKenzie Westmore of �Passions�; Kim Zimmer, Beth Ehlers, Gina Tognoni, Mandy Bruno and Crystal Chappell of �Guiding Light�; Joshua Morrow, Michelle Stafford, Sharon Case, Christian LeBlanc of �The Young & The Restless�; Peter Reckell, Kristian Alfonso, Farah Fath and Jason Cook of �Days of Our Lives�; Jack Wagner and Katherine Kelly Lang of �The Bold & The Beautiful,� and Michael Park and Maura West of �As The World Turns.�

After eight consecutive losses and nine nominations as Outstanding Talk Show Host, Barbara Walters, Meredith Vieira, Star Jones Reynolds, Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck (�The View�), who are also scheduled to present, have been having fun with their recent on-air (and very tongue-in-cheek) �Watch the Ladies Lose Contest.� Will they take home the gold? History has shown that for 32 years, the Outstanding Talk Show Host category has always been won by a single host. This year only one nominee, Ellen DeGeneres, is the solo host of a talk show series, and three of the four nominees are co-hosting teams. Will the losing streak finally be over? �The View� hosts don�t think so.

Video packages celebrating the 50th Anniversary of �As the World Turns� and the 40th Anniversary of �Days of Our Lives� will be introduced by stars from both shows and are among the many highlights of the evening.

As previously announced, the broadcast will open with a rock-the-house performance by �General Hospital� actor and musician Rick Springfield (�Jesse�s Girl�), as he sings a mix of his hits.
