One show towers above every scripted drama and sitcom on the ledger. The most Emmys won by a TV show belongs to Saturday Night Live with 113 Primetime and Creative Arts wins as of the 2025 ceremony per Television Academy totals.

NBC's variety institution added another trophy at the 2025 Primetime Emmys after 11 Creative Arts wins for season 50. That gap defines the modern most Emmys won by a TV show leaderboard for fifty years and counting.

HBO's fantasy epic holds the scripted-series crown with 59 wins from 159 nominations. No other drama approaches that total on any honest most Emmys won by a TV show ranking through the 2025 ceremony.

Frasier counts 38 wins; The Simpsons holds 37 as the animation leader. Sitcoms and cartoons once traded the fictional-series record before Thrones surged on the most Emmys won by a TV show list.

The West Wing earned 26 wins; Cheers stacks 28 across eleven seasons. Political drama and barroom comedy prove prestige scripted series chase the most Emmys won by a TV show without variety-show volume.
