Cameron Mathison is the busiest man on daytime television. Aside from starring on All My Children, of course, the actor is hosting a new reality TV show and handing out the Daytime Emmys this Friday night.

Somehow, he found time to talk with TV Guide Canada. Here are excerpts:

TV Guide: How’s your family dealing with your insane workload? Does your wife remember what you look like?
Cameron Mathison: I hear she’s doing well — and if you talk to my wife, Nelson, please send her my best! [Laughs] My family still sees me; I haven’t sacrificed that part of my life and never will. Am I golfing, or working out as much? No. I’ve only given up my personal time.

TV Guide: You’re hosting the Emmys with Sherri Shepherd this Friday. What can we expect? I’d kill for you to pull a Billy Crystal or Conan O’Brien and spoof the genre.
Cameron Mathison: Lots of comedy… [and that’s all I’ll say]. You can’t co-host with Sherri and not be funny. The Emmys are pulling a Golden Globes with dinner tables and lots of booze! It’ll add a lot of spontaneity, a lot of humour and fun to the event.

TV Guide: Will it be awkward to host the ABC telecast when your network only received two major acting nominations?
Cameron Mathison: I have a feeling that had something to do with us cutting the show down to two hours from three, but I am so busy right now that I can’t focus on all the politics this year. I’m living in the moment presently because that’s the only way I can survive this next month.
