The 2026 event will include a dinner, reception, and tribute concert featuring performances from artists honoring Carey’s music and charitable contributions.

Carey joins a list of previous MusiCares honorees that includes Jon Bon Jovi, Joni Mitchell, Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, and The Grateful Dead. The 2026 event will be produced by live broadcast producers Lewis & Clark, led by Joe Lewis and R.A. Clark, and is supported by sponsors including AEG and the Wasserman Foundation.

"Big Sky Kitchen with Eduardo Garcia" documents Garcia's adventures and culinary skills as he builds his food company, Montana Mex. The show is known for its engaging content, where Garcia explores the origins of his ingredients and demonstrates cooking techniques that cater to both novice and experienced cooks. Garcia's approach to cooking emphasizes the joy and community that food can bring, challenging the stereotype of the high-pressure kitchen environment.

"Food is my passion. I want to bring people into the kitchen with me. The joy of nurturing those around me with food has been my north star, and I celebrate that every day," said Garcia, reflecting on his nomination.

Garcia's journey is particularly inspiring given his personal story of resilience. After losing his left hand and forearm, Garcia learned to cook again using a prosthetic hook, underscoring his belief in the transformative power of food. His cooking philosophy centers on the idea that a shared meal is a foundational element for building community and fostering connections.

Viewers of "Big Sky Kitchen" can also join Garcia for live and interactive cooking classes through his digital series, "The Hungry Life," where he invites people to cook along with him online.

The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on June 8, 2024, at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST via the Emmys app at watch.TheEmmys.tv. Episodes of "Big Sky Kitchen with Eduardo Garcia" are available for streaming on discovery+ and Max.
