Outstanding Actor in a Guest Role in a Comedy Series Emmy

Entertainment: TV Emmys

The Emmy Awards were first presented for the year 1948 on January 25, 1949. (The annual awards were presented for the year prior). In 1959, the awards were presented for a TV season (1958-59). Starting in 1959, we use the year of presentation, thus there are no awards for 1958. From 1986-1988, category was not gender specific (hence, no winner in this collection for 1988). Not awarded in 1992. Missing: Luke Kirby (2019) * Sam Richardson (2023)
