Last Year’s Winner: Brett Goldstein, “Ted Lasso”
Still Eligible: Yes.
Hot Streak: The last person to win Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy in back-to-back years was Jeremy Piven for “Entourage.” After that, there was a period where “Modern Family” stars Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet would swap wins. Given how “Ted Lasso” took up half the nominations in this category, with Brett Goldstein being the one to win, there’s a chance the hit Apple TV+ series could follow in the footsteps of “Modern Family,” and have a hot streak for the show rather than for just one cast member. Nick Mohammed and Brendan Hunt certainly had showcase episodes in Season 2.
Notable Ineligible Series: Paul Reiser, “The Kominsky Method” (ended); Sterling K. Brown, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Brown did not appear in Season 4.)

In recent years, the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy category has had a tendency to nominate multiple cast members from one series. As mentioned above, “Ted Lasso” Season 1 scored four nominations, and “Barry” Season 2 saw Anthony Carrigan, Stephen Root, and 2018 winner Henry Winkler all making the cut. Even the long-running “Saturday Night Live” usually gets two spots, with Kenan Thompson and Bowen Yang representing the show last year. With so many notable comedies, both new and old, coming in as contenders this year, one show taking over the category like “Ted Lasso” did last year will be very telling for how the rest of the comedy categories will go.
