Will Ferrell has a long and impressive TV legacy dating back to “Saturday Night Live,” where he was a regular cast member from 1995 to 2002. But he has never won an Emmy. The good news for the funnyman is that he has four more chances this year in the field where he has, perhaps surprisingly, enjoyed his greatest awards success: as a producer.
Though Ferrell is best known for his work on-screen, only one of his dozen Emmy nominations is for acting: Best Individual Variety Performance in 2001 for “SNL,” which was the very first nomination of his career. Then he earned a writing nomination for his comedy special “You’re Welcome America: A Final Night With George W. Bush.” His other 10 noms are all for producing.
