LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former late-night host Craig Ferguson found gold in his switch to game-show emcee, winning a Daytime Emmy for “Celebrity Name Game.”

A beaming Ferguson called the honor “fantastic,” then thanked Hollywood for a job.

Ferguson stepped down last December from CBS’ “The Late Late Show,” now hosted by James Corden.

Other early winners at Sunday’s Daytime Emmys included Amelia Heinle, best supporting actress in a drama series for “The Young and the Beautiful,” and Chad Duell, best supporting drama actor for “General Hospital.”
