Here's one less opportunity for Joan and Melissa Rivers. On today's episode of
The View, guest host
Chandra Wilson will announce that she's signed up to work the red carpet for SOAPnet's
Daytime Emmy Awards pre-ceremony special. The
Grey's Anatomy star, a diehard soap fan, will interview attendees at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on Friday, June 15 from 7 to 9 pm/ET. (The awards will be handed out on CBS at 9 pm/ET.)
Wilson, who recently won a SAG Award for her portrayal of Dr. Miranda Bailey (aka "The Nazi" of Seattle Grace Hospital), is well qualified for the SOAPnet gig, as she watches four soaps every day:
General Hospital,
All My Children,
One Life To Live and
The Young and the Restless.
SOAPnet's coverage of the Emmys will also include a wrap-up show,
Daytime Emmys Unzipped, hosted by daytime grande dame
Linda Dano,
Days of Our Lives star
Julie Pinson, and
I Wanna Be a Soap Star judge Michael Bruno on Monday, June 18 at 11 pm/ET.
