North Texas stars Gaby Natale and Chris Harrison nominated for Daytime Emmy Awards

While Dallasite Chris Harrison is nominated for his first Daytime Emmy, Fort Worth resident Gabriele Natale is cementing veteran status.

Natale, the host and executive producer of SuperLatina, is looking for a three-peat with her nomination for outstanding daytime talent in a Spanish-language program. The show started airing in Dallas before it went into national syndication. The other nominees are Raul De Molina, Lili Estefan and Francisco Fuentes for El Gordo y la Flaca on Univision; and Guillermo Arduino for Encuentro.

The Fort Worth-based star won the award in 2016 (with an inspiring speech) and in 2017 (with another inspiring speech). The Spanish-language categories were added in 2013.
