The 19 actors who have won the most Emmys of all time

Knotts was nominated for five Emmy Awards (in 1961, 1962, 1963, 1966, and 1967) for his performance as Barney Fife in "The Andy Griffith Show" — and he won them all.

Larroquette won four consecutive Emmys from 1985 to 1988 for his performance in "Night Court." His last win came for his guest role in "The Practice" in 1998.

All five of Bergen's wins came from her performance as the titular role in the CBS sitcom "Murphy Brown." She was nominated for an additional two awards in the 2000s for "Boston Legal."

All but one of Falk's Emmys came from his long-running performance as one of the most iconic TV detectives: Frank Columbo on "Columbo."

He also won in 1962 for "The Dick Powell Show."

Conway was nominated for both his acting and his writing. He won for acting on "The Carol Burnett Show," "Coach," and "30 Rock."

Fox won three consecutive Emmys in '86, '87, and '88 for playing Alex P. Keaton in "Family Ties."

He won another two for "Spin City" and "Rescue Me."

In 2026, he's nominated for his guest appearance on "Shrinking."

Four of Grammer's wins came from his long-running performance as Frasier Crane on "Frasier."

His fifth (and most recent) win came from his vocal performance as Sideshow Bob in an episode of "The Simpsons."

White's wins were for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "The Golden Girls," "The John Larroquette Show," and "Saturday Night Live."

Rudolph won twice while on "Saturday Night Live," and won four times for voicing Connie the Hormone Monstress on "Big Mouth."

Carney won four times for "The Jackie Gleason Show," once for "The Honeymooners," and once for the made-for-TV film "Terrible Joe Moran."

In 1983, 1984, 1985, and 1988, Daly took home the Emmy Award for lead actress in a drama series for "Cagney and Lacey."

She won twice more in 1996 and 2003 for roles in "Christy" and "Judging Amy," respectively.

Alda won five Emmys across acting, writing, and directing on "MASH." His last win came in 2006 for appearing on "The West Wing."

Just last year, at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Cranston won his seventh Emmy for his guest role on "The Studio."

Prior to that, all of Cranston's wins came from starring in and producing "Breaking Bad."

Janney won three Emmys in a row for "The West Wing" from 2000 to 2002 (and then another in 2004).

She won three more times for "Masters of Sex" and "Mom."

Asner won for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "Rich Man, Poor Man," "Roots," and "Lou Grant."

Asner's wins for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "Lou Grant" made him one of the few actors to win for playing the same character across two different shows.

Moore won twice for "The Dick Van Dyke Show," four times for "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and once for the TV movie "Stolen Babies."

If we're just counting performances, Leachman would be tied for No. 2; however, the two actors above her have also won for writing and producing.

Leachman won for acting in "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," "A Brand New Life," "Cher," the "Screen Actors Guild 50th Anniversary Celebration," "Promised Land," and "Malcolm in the Middle" across 33 years.

Reiner's three acting Emmys came from "Caesar's Hour" and "Mad About You."

His other eight wins came from writing and producing "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "The Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris Special."

Most famously, Louis-Dreyfus won a record-breaking six consecutive Emmy Awards for playing Selina Meyer on "Veep" (she also won three more for producing the show).

She won one Emmy apiece for her performances on "Seinfeld" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine," as well.
