Emmys 2013: Carson Daly on whether Emmy noms matter in reality TV

In the world of reality television, what do Emmy nominations mean for a show? It depends on who you ask.

According to “Survivor” host Jeff Probst, awards buzz is no big deal. At a recent Envelope Emmy Roundtable, he said of being nominated, “I don’t know that it really does matter [to audiences]. I don’t actually know that it matters to the audience in scripted either.”

It’s possible that Probst was just being modest, of course — fellow panelist Cat Deeley (“So You Think You Can Dance?”) got him to admit that he has won four Emmys for hosting.

And Mark Cuban (“Shark Tank”) agreed with Probst, shaking his head and chiming in, “There’s no way it matters to the audience.” Recalling “Shark Tank’s” Emmy nomination last year, Cuban said, “Everybody on set was so excited. I was like, ‘OK.’ It doesn’t matter to me, but I realized it mattered to everybody else.”

“That’s because you’re rich!” interjected Carson Daly of “The Voice.”

“I still like to win,” Cuban countered.

Daly continued, “In the television business, it is a big deal, whether you want it to be or not.” Regarding “The Voice” being nominated over “American Idol” and “X Factor” last year, Daly said, “We were all freaking out. I mean, we’re like the Bad News Bears. We were stoked.”
