 * Carl Reiner won a total of nine Primetime Emmy Awards, five of which were for his work on The Dick Van Dyke Show (Outstanding Comedy Series, Program Achievement, Writing in a Comedy series and Writing in a Comedy/Variety/Music series). He also won the award for Outstanding Guest Actor for his performance on Mad About You, and two Emmys for his performance on Caesar's Hour. In 1967, he won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy/Variety/Music series, for The Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris Special.
 * Cloris Leachman's eighth Emmy made her the "winningest" female performer in Emmy history. Previously, she had been tied with Mary Tyler Moore and Tracey Ullman (although not all of Ullman's Emmys are for performance categories).
 * Edward Asner won five Emmys for the same character (Lou Grant) but in two different series and genres. Asner won three in the Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and two more in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category for Lou Grant. Asner also has two additional Emmys, making him the most awarded male performer in Emmy history with 7 wins.
 * Art Carney received six Primetime Emmy Awards; five for his portrayal of Ed Norton — two for the original Jackie Gleason Show (Supporting Actor 1954,1955), one for The Honeymooners (Supporting Actor 1956), and two for the final version of The Jackie Gleason Show (Special Classification of Individual Achievements 1967,1968). Carney won his sixth Emmy (Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a Special) in 1984 for the TV Movie Terrible Joe Moran.
 * Tyne Daly has won six performing Emmy Awards; four Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Mary Beth Lacey in Cagney & Lacey in 1983–85 and 1988. Also, two wins in the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category for Christy in 1996 and Judging Amy in 2003.
 * Don Knotts and Candice Bergen share the distinction of being the only actors to have won five Emmy Awards for their respective performances on their respective series. Knotts won for his role as Deputy Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show (1961–63, 1966–67). Bergen won for her portrayal of Murphy Brown on Murphy Brown (1989–90, 1992, 1994–95).
 * Kelsey Grammer has won five Emmy Awards: four for his portrayal of Frasier Crane on Frasier (1994–95, 1998, 2004) and one for voicing the character Sideshow Bob on the series The Simpsons (2006). He has several other nominations as Frasier on that series as well as on Cheers and Wings (for a 1992 guest appearance). This makes him the only actor to earn Emmy nominations for portraying the same character on three different programs.
 * John Larroquette also won five Emmy Awards; four (in a row) for his portrayal of Dan Fielding on Night Court and one for his guest role on The Practice.
 * Peter Falk won five Primetime Emmy Awards, including four for his iconic work on Columbo – 3 as Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series (1972, 1976, 1990) and 1 as Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series (1975). Fifth win was chronologically the first for his performance on The Dick Powell Show.
 * Carroll O'Connor of All in the Family, Nancy Marchand of Lou Grant, Rhea Perlman of Cheers, Dennis Franz of NYPD Blue, Helen Hunt of Mad About You, David Hyde Pierce of Frasier, Allison Janney of The West Wing, and Doris Roberts of Everybody Loves Raymond have all won four Emmys for playing their respective characters on their respective TV shows. Valerie Harper also has four Emmys for the same character, Rhoda, but on two different shows. Harper has three Emmys for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and one for Rhoda. Michael J. Fox has four Emmys, three in-a-row ('86-'88) for his portrayal of Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties, and a fourth for Spin City.
 * Kathy Baker of Picket Fences, Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad, James Gandolfini of The Sopranos, Brad Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond, John Lithgow of 3rd Rock from the Sun, Laurie Metcalf of Roseanne, Jeremy Piven of Entourage, Michael Richards of Seinfeld, Tony Shalhoub of Monk, James Spader of The Practice and Boston Legal, Barbara Bain of Mission: Impossible, Patricia Wettig of thirtysomething and Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory have all won three Emmys for playing their respective characters on their respective TV shows.
 * Carroll O'Connor and Edie Falco are the only actors to have won the lead category in both the comedy and drama series category. O'Connor has four Emmys for his comedic turn in All in the Family and one dramatic Emmy for In the Heat of the Night. Falco has three Emmys for her dramatic turn in The Sopranos and one comedic Emmy for Nurse Jackie. Others have won in a variety of both the comedy and drama categories including lead, supporting, and guest performances such as Alan Alda for M*A*S*H and The West Wing, Bruce Willis for Moonlighting and Friends, John Lithgow for Amazing Stories, 3rd Rock from the Sun and Dexter, Doris Roberts for St. Elsewhere and Everybody Loves Raymond, Ed Asner for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Lou Grant, John Larroquette for Night Court and The Practice, Christopher Lloyd for Taxi and Avonlea, Cynthia Nixon for Sex and the City and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Elaine Stritch for 30 Rock and Law & Order, Bobby Cannavale for Will & Grace and Boardwalk Empire, and Cloris Leachman for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Promised Land and Malcolm in the Middle.
 * Alan Alda is the only person to have won Emmys in the comedy series categories for writing, directing, and acting in the same series, M*A*S*H. Alda has a total of six wins including his most recent Emmy for supporting actor in a drama series for The West Wing.
 * Betty White is the only female to have an Emmy in all female performing comedic categories including one in Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for The Golden Girls, two in Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and two in Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for The John Larroquette Show and Saturday Night Live. White also holds the record for longest gap between performing Emmy nominations—her first was in 1951 and her most recent was in 2013, a gap of 62 years.  White also holds the record for the oldest recipient of a competitive, non-honorary performing Primetime Emmy, winning in 2010 at the age of 88.

Clarity for "most wins" sections
The "most wins" section titles can be misleading as many people have won awards across different categories. Most commonly, actors/actresses have won awards for non-performing categories. For example, Tina Fey has won 5 Emmys for writing or producing and 2 for acting (in 2008 and 2009)....yet she's listed as the "actress" with the most Emmy wins. This should be clearer within each list and for each winner to whom these circumstances apply. Jasonqueue (talk) 07:56, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

For Most Wins for a reality show. After this year's ceremony I believe RuPaul's Drag Race now has 19 wins over DWTS' 17.

– This is for the same reason on the requested move discussion on the main Emmy Award article to make that page plural. The Emmys are divided into these separate celebrations (the best way I like to describe it is that it is sort of like how the Olympic Games are divided into the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games). So everything should be consistent with Academy Awards, Tony Awards, and any other awards article where they are commonly in the plural form unless a single category is being referred to by itself.

At one place in the article it says: Primetime Emmy Engineering Awards

And one of the categories is named the Charles H. Jenkins lifetime achievement award, but the name of the man on the award is really Charles F. (not H.) Jenkins. Ofin Balboa (talk) 09:11, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
