Although the event was not televised or live streamed online, word quickly spread on Sunday evening that Craig Ferguson<\/strong> won his second consecutive Daytime Emmy Award. Craig thanked Larry King<\/strong> on Twitter for his kind words, and then congratulated the show and many of the people behind it, for being honored again.\r\n

Sweet. 2nd #Emmy<\/a> for @CelebNameGame<\/a>.
