When ''Judge Mathis'' was crowned the winner of the Daytime Emmy Award in 2018, it became the first courtroom series with an [[African American]] jurist to win the award. In his acceptance speech for his first-ever Emmy win, he credited his diverse staff of females and minorities:

:''We are very proud and honored to have been awarded this Emmy. And after 20 years, I'm so happy for my staff in particular and the diversity that they represent. The majority of our staff are females and minorities. And in this day of the [[Me Too movement]], I think this shows that if you hire more women and have a more diverse staff, you'll win.''<ref name="globalnews.ca">{{cite web |url=https://globalnews.ca/video/4176631/judge-mathis-credits-diverse-staff-for-emmy-win |title=Judge Mathis Credits Diverse Staff For Emmy Win |publisher=Globalnews.ca |date=30 April 2018 |access-date=21 May 2018 |archive-date=May 21, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180521200733/https://globalnews.ca/video/4176631/judge-mathis-credits-diverse-staff-for-emmy-win |url-status=dead }}</ref>
