2014 Emmy Predictions: Guest Actor in a Comedy Series

[maxbutton id=”3″]

I think this category is going to come down between the two Saturday Night Live nominees. Jimmy Fallon had won in this category before for his hosting job, and has blasted into the spotlight this year when he took over The Tonight Show with acclaim and big ratings. However, Louis C.K. is also an Emmy favorite and could pose an upset.

We also have to look out for last year's winner Bob Newhart (The Big Bang Theory) to upset based on name alone. Nathan Lane (Modern Family) has a good episode submission, but since it's more heavy toward the end and is relatively short, I don't think he poses too big of a threat.


1. Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live (“Host: Jimmy Fallon”)
2. Bob Newhart, The Big Bang Theory
3. Louis C.K., Saturday Night Live (“Host: Louis C.K.”)
4. Nathan Lane, Modern Family (“Wedding, Pt. 2”)
5. Steve Buscemi, Portlandia
6. Gary Cole, Veep (“Crate”)
