The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, given by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, honor the best in American prime time television programming aired between June 1, 2025, until May 31, 2026. The awards ceremony is scheduled for September 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, California This market will resolve according to the person who wins the 2026 Emmy award for “Outstanding guest actor in a comedy series”. If for any reason no winner is declared by October 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or in case of overall cancellation or a tie for winner, this market will resolve in favor of the nominee which comes first in alphabetical order. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the Emmys, including data from their websites (e.g. https://theemmys.tv/, https://www.televisionacademy.com/) and the live broadcast of the award ceremony, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Rob Reiner’s posthumous nomination for his three-episode arc as restaurant consultant Albert Schnurr in “The Bear” Season 4 drives much of the current market positioning, fueled by the late actor’s long legacy and a tribute in the series finale that referenced his iconic “The Princess Bride” role.** Michael J. Fox sits just behind after his first Emmy nomination in a decade for a guest turn on “Shrinking,” where he plays a Parkinson’s patient; traders appear to weigh the strong sentimental pull of his limited return against Reiner’s historical precedent and industry goodwill. The remaining contenders trail significantly, with Connor Storrie’s “SNL” hosting stint and Hamish Linklater’s work on “Widow’s Bay” reflecting narrower voter blocs, while Brett Goldstein’s additional “Shrinking” submission and Christopher McDonald’s “Hacks” appearance split limited support within their respective shows. With Creative Arts voting recently concluded ahead of the Sept. 5–6 ceremonies, the near-even split between the two frontrunners highlights how posthumous recognition and emotional narratives often compete in guest categories where multiple strong submissions from the same series dilute individual chances.
