Facebook Daytime talk show starring Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Jones have received an Emmy nomination for their break out talk show.
This appears to be the first-ever Daytime Emmy Awards nomination for a Facebook-funded show, although a company rep was unable to confirm that. We believe it’s the first ever.
“Red Table Talk” is nominated in the Daytime Emmys informative talk-show category, up against NBC’s “Today Show with Kathie Lee & Hoda” and syndicated programs “Access Live,” “The Dr. Oz Show,” and “Rachael Ray.”
“Red Table Talk” has 5.6 million followers on Facebook, while the official companion discussion group has more than 477,000 members. The show is produced by Westbrook Studios, a short-form content company owned by Pinkett Smith, Will Smith and Miguel Melendez and Very Tall Productions.
Jada Pinkett-Smith took to social media about the news.
