'Nightline' Takes Critics' Award; 'Daily Show' Now A Comedy?
As the Television Critics’ Association massive annual gathering winds down, ABC’s “Nightline” has won the critics’ fourth annual prestigious Heritage Award, recognizing “a long-standing program that made a lasting cultural or social impact.”
The nightly news show, which this year is celebrating its silver anniversary, beat out PBS’ “Frontline” and “Sesame Street,” CBS’ “M*A*S*H,” and NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” for the honor. Last year, the award went to CBS’ “60 Minutes.” This year “Frontline” was the only other news show to take home an award, winning in the “Outstanding Achievement in News & Information” category.
