LOS ANGELES, April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Executive Producers, John Tesh, Connie Sellecca and Gib Gerard are pleased to announce that their Intelligence For Your Life Television Show has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. The program, syndicated nationally, was launched in September, 2014 as the outgrowth of the hugely popular radio shows; Intelligence For Your Life (hosted by Tesh w/ Gerard) and Intelligence For Your Health (hosted by Sellecca). The daily television program features a unique, fast paced format in the key life-style-brand category. Says Tesh, "Our station managers have always pointed to our 'family dynamic' as the key differentiator for this show. The format not only allows us to deliver 'bite-size, substantive intelligence' but we can also dig into trending topics as a family." Says Sellecca, "Being honored like this by the Television Academy in our first season is a huge blessing for us and for the incredibly creative writers, producers and motion graphic editors who work long hours each day on our show."

The half hour Intelligence For Your Life syndicated strip is self-syndicated under the direction of Executive VP of Syndication, former Paramount Television executive, Mark Dvornik, and IFYL Executive VP of Entertainment, Scott Meyers. The daily strip has 83% U.S. coverage, into nearly 100 million homes. Says Dvornik, "We were encouraged right away by the swift growth in the key Nielsen demos including women 25-54 which has grown more than 50% since November, '14."

Connie Sellecca, a Golden Globe nominated actress, has starred in dozens of major network television movies and series, including Hotel, Greatest American Hero, P.S. I Luv U, and Second Chances and has produced television programs including the made for TV movie A House of Secrets and Lies (in which she also starred).

Tesh's career includes six Emmy Awards and an AP award for investigative journalism. He has earned two Grammy nominations. Tesh's book, Intelligence For Your Life: Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth, made the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon.com best-seller lists.

Gib Gerard is a television and film actor, producer and host who has starred in such movies as God's Country, The Wild Stallion and All About Christmas Eve. As the millennial expert on the 'Intelligence For Your Life' TV show, Gib shares the more quirky, trendy segments of the show with a comedic flare from his training in The Groundlings and live stage experience.
