Episode Details

Carly Yoshida, beloved KITV morning host, just became Miss Hawaii 2026 after a decade of hard work — and she’s headed to Miss America later this summer. Beyond the crown, she swept major awards including the Malika Dudley Journalism Scholarship, Photogenic, People’s Choice, and a dazzling hula performance win. Competing as Miss Kaka‘ako, she outshone nine others in a revamped pageant that ditched swimsuits for a modest “lifestyle and fitness” segment. First runner-up Ashley Yoshikawa and second runner-up May Kamaka also shone, earning honors for academics, community service, and Hawaiian Studies. The Miss America competition kicks off in West Palm Beach this August — and Carly’s already making waves.
