Russ Morash

Russ Morash was fresh out of college when he entered the young world of television in 1957. At the time, his employer, Boston's WGBH, had been on the air for only two years. He immediately put the theater training he'd received at Boston University to work mounting productions and dealing with talent. He knew talent when he saw it, and when he began working with a "strange woman with this strange accent" named, Julia Child, "The French Chef" – and "how-to television" – were born. Over time, Russ's personal enthusiasms — cooking, gardening, home repair, woodworking — would become, through his choice of talent, tone, and content, America's first foray into "reality television."

In 1975, he dragged two huge studio cameras outside to record the first episode of "Crockett's Victory Garden" in raised beds set up in the station's parking lot. Three years later, he convinced his bosses to buy a dilapidated Victorian home so that he could document its rehabilitation under the hammer of Norm Abram and the showmanship of Bob Vila.

"This Old House" has been running for 35 years and counting! His remarkable success continued with the launch of "The New Yankee Workshop" in 1989 and "Ask This Old House" in 2002. Russ's programs are all based on a simple and revolutionary idea: authentic information, presented clearly by experts themselves. Often, through sheer force of will, he brought these programs into being. He taught and inspired a generation of TV producers who follow in his footsteps. Ultimately, his legacy is generations of TV viewers who value the expertise, work ethic, and skill of craftsmen and women, and who know the true value of a job well done.

The Daytime Creative Arts Emmy® Awards recognize outstanding achievement in all fields of daytime television production and are presented to individuals and programs broadcast from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the 2013 calendar year.
