Television Celebrity Danny Lipford Seen Atop Roof Near Marianna

Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford®, picked up its first nomination in the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards announced on April 30th. An ABC camera crew was in Marianna this weekend to catch Danny as he worked on the roof of his mother’s home off Laramore Road, south of Marianna.
Lipford, who graduated from Marianna High School in 1975 frequently returns home to visit his mother and fellow classmates. Although he has become a national celebrity with his widely syndicated home improvement shows, he says that his roots are firmly planted in Jackson County.
The long-running show, now in its 10th season, was nominated in the category of Special Class Writing for show Writer Scott Gardner,who is also the Director of the show. Other nominees in the category are The Ellen Degeneres Show and ABC’s The View.
"I couldn’t be more excited about this nomination," says Host and Executive Producer Danny Lipford. "And I can’t say enough about the quality of Scott’s writing which has contributed to the long-term success of the show. To be nominated against that level of competition - it just shows that if you keep at it long enough, you’ll eventually get recognized for your work."
The Daytime Emmy awards show will air June 20th at 8:00 pm on ABC, live from Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre.
"Yes, we plan to be there," Lipford says.
The 35th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards is a presentation of the National Television Academy in cooperation with the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
