6. Bob Newhart
Rodney Dangerfield isn't the only comedian to get no respect. Bob Newhart received none from the Emmy Awards for his now classic TV comedies "The Bob Newhart Show" and "Newhart." The former did win an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series after it had been canceled, but "Newhart," which received 25 nominations, batted zero. As for Newhart himself, it wasn't until his guest appearance on "The Big Bang Theory" that he finally won an Emmy in 2013 for his guest-star role as Arthur Jeffries.
