    Right, we should probably hold off guessing and use the last 2 questions to narrow it down a bit

    Summary

    Male caucasian american actor, over 45, known for comedy, has won an emmy. Was not in a sitcom with characters name in title. Show hes in has won emmy up to 10 years ago. New episodes within last 4 year of current show but no emmy nominations for show in the time

    I know was gona throw a second guess on ed o niel but said I'd hold off until someone asks a couple more q's and see if i can cross him off the list

    Is he over 65?

    (That might help with the Ed O'Neill theory)

    Beat me to asking the same question :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,441 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    This is not a question, just a theory, was going to guess Michael J Fox but he has had the Michael J Fox show so it probably rules him out.

    I still think Bryan Cranston is correct.

    Actually i think modern family has had emmy nominees in last 4 years so that would rule ed o niell out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,793 ✭✭✭tritium


    Lets see what qbs question comes back as and take stock

    Im thinking kelsey grammer at the moment but going to hold off guessing if we can get better steer from the remaining questions

    Rules in Ed O'Neill.
    Rules out Kelsey Grammer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,793 ✭✭✭tritium


    Does moderm familys emmy record rule ed o'neill out

    (Question to the masses not to andy :) )


  • Posts: 13,822 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I would have thought Kelsey Grammer was ruled out because he was in Fraiser as Fraiser


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,793 ✭✭✭tritium


    Three more that spring to mind are judd hirsch ted danson and alan alda.

    A question around film careers might help here but with only one left id like people thoughst..


  • Posts: 13,822 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    It's not Larry David, he's 69.

    It's not anyone from Friends, last episode made in 2004.

    It could be some of the male cast from Arrested Development; Will Arnett, Jason Bateman although they have only received Emmy nominations while the show itself recieved an emmy. Does that count? More of a clarification than a question per-say ...

    I think we clarified they had won an emmy themselves

    Edit: question 13

    Also over 65 so larry d qualifies on age, not sureabout othercriteria

    Edit 2 saturday night live has a 2016 emmy nomination for director and larry david has appeared. Does that rule him out?
