✨ AI Insight

Saturday Night Live's 93 Emmys tower over the field, far ahead of Game of Thrones' 59 - a reflection of its five-decade run and eligibility across writing, variety and acting categories. Game of Thrones is the most-awarded scripted series, most of its wins coming in technical and creative-arts categories. The Simpsons and Frasier tie at 37, the highest total for any comedy. The rest of the list rewards longevity: classic sitcoms such as Cheers (28) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show (29) sit alongside drama landmarks like The West Wing and Hill Street Blues (26 each). Recent streaming series The Crown (24) and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (22) show how quickly newer shows have joined the all-time ranks.
