I thought Candice Bergen has like 5 or 6 Emmy Awards... Why Larroquette is mentioned, but not Bergen?

Carl Reiner won a total of nine Primetime Emmy Awards, five of which were for his work on The Dick Van Dyke Show (Outstanding Comedy Series, Program Achievement, Writing in a Comedy series and Writing in a Comedy/Variety/Music series). He also won the award for Outstanding Guest Actor for his performance on Mad About You, and two Emmys for his performance on Caesar's Hour. In 1967, he won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy/Variety/Music series, for The Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris Special.
Cloris Leachman's eighth Emmy made her the "winningest" female performer in Emmy history. Previously, she had been tied with
Mary Tyler Moore and
Tracey Ullman (although not all of Ullman's Emmys are for performance categories).
Edward Asner won five Emmys for the same character (
Lou Grant) but in two different series and genres. Asner won three in the Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and two more in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category for Lou Grant. Asner also has two additional Emmys, making him the most awarded male performer in Emmy history with 7 wins.
Art Carney received six Primetime Emmy Awards; five for his portrayal of Ed Norton — two for the original Jackie Gleason Show (Supporting Actor 1954,1955), one for The Honeymooners (Supporting Actor 1956), and two for the final version of The Jackie Gleason Show (Special Classification of Individual Achievements 1967,1968). Carney won his sixth Emmy (Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a Special) in 1984 for the TV Movie Terrible Joe Moran.[1]
Tyne Daly has won six performing Emmy Awards; four Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Mary Beth Lacey in Cagney & Lacey in 1983–85 and 1988. Also, two wins in the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series category for Christy in 1996 and Judging Amy in 2003.
Don Knotts and
Candice Bergen share the distinction of being the only actors to have won five Emmy Awards for their respective performances on their respective series. Knotts won for his role as Deputy
Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show (1961–63, 1966–67). Bergen won for her portrayal of Murphy Brown on Murphy Brown (1989–90, 1992, 1994–95).
Kelsey Grammer has won five Emmy Awards: four for his portrayal of
Frasier Crane on Frasier (1994–95, 1998, 2004) and one for voicing the character
Sideshow Bob on the series The Simpsons (2006). He has several other nominations as Frasier on that series as well as on Cheers and Wings (for a 1992 guest appearance). This makes him the only actor to earn Emmy nominations for portraying the same character on three different programs.
Peter Falk won five Primetime Emmy Awards, including four for his iconic work on Columbo – 3 as Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series (1972, 1976, 1990) and 1 as Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series (1975). Fifth win was chronologically the first for his performance on The Dick Powell Show.
Alan Alda is the only person to have won Emmys in the comedy series categories for writing, directing, and acting in the same series, M*A*S*H. Alda has a total of six wins including his most recent Emmy for supporting actor in a drama series for The West Wing.
Betty White is the only female to have an Emmy in all female performing comedic categories including one in Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for The Golden Girls, two in Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and two in Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for The John Larroquette Show and Saturday Night Live. White also holds the record for longest gap between performing Emmy nominations—her first was in 1951 and her most recent was in 2013, a gap of 62 years. White also holds the record for the oldest recipient of a competitive, non-honorary performing Primetime Emmy, winning in 2010 at the age of 88.

The "most wins" section titles can be misleading as many people have won awards across different categories. Most commonly, actors/actresses have won awards for non-performing categories. For example, Tina Fey has won 5 Emmys for writing or producing and 2 for acting (in 2008 and 2009)....yet she's listed as the "actress" with the most Emmy wins. This should be clearer within each list and for each winner to whom these circumstances apply.

For Most Wins for a reality show. After this year's ceremony I believe RuPaul's Drag Race now has 19 wins over DWTS' 17.

Fix the on air television broadcast:

Please consider this proposal.
That's it

Requested move 27 April 2021
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
– This is for the same reason on
the requested move discussion on the main
Emmy Award article to make that page plural. The Emmys are divided into these separate celebrations (the best way I like to describe it is that it is sort of like how the
Olympic Games are divided into the
Summer Olympic Games and the
Winter Olympic Games). So everything should be consistent with
Academy Awards,
Tony Awards, and any other awards article where they are commonly in the plural form unless a single category is being referred to by itself.

Support, I always thought the titling of these articles was strange. Every other award ceremony article I know of uses plurals. –

Most nominated comedy series in its first season should be Ted Lasso with 20 nominations, not Glee

4. Saturday Night Live now has 306 nominations as "Most nominations for a Variety, Music, or Comedy Series". It's updated in "Most nominations for a Television Program", so please update this too.
5. The Simpsons also has 30 nominations now, up from 28, as Most nominations for Outstanding Animated Programhttps://www.emmys.com/shows/simpsons
Done. For, SNL, I see 296 nominations

At one place in the article it says:
Primetime Emmy Engineering Awards
And one of the categories is named the Charles H. Jenkins lifetime achievement award, but the name of the man on the award is really Charles F. (not H.) Jenkins.
