Jake Silbermann may not be nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award this year, but the As the World Turns star is excited for the event nonetheless.

"I'm thrilled; I can't wait," Silbermann told Soap Opera Digest of presenting duties at the Emmys. "I've never been and to get to go for the first time and present is really great, especially for this year. I'm really excited for Van's [Hansis, Luke] nomination and I really do have my fingers crossed.

I don't want to jinx it and I am going to knock on wood right now, but I think he's done some wonderful work and it's been a pleasure working with him."

Jake Silbermann will be presenting at this year's Daytime Emmy Awards.
