Actresses Cloris Leachman and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have won eight Primetime Emmys each during their distinguished careers. Leachman also has a Daytime Emmy. Actress Allison Janney has seven, which ties her with Mary Tyler Moore and Edward Asner. As the star of HBO comedy series "Veep," Louis-Dreyfus has won six consecutive Emmys as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. She also won the 2008 award in that category for her previous show "The New Adventures of Old Christine." Louis-Dreyfus also won a 1996 Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series award for "Seinfeld." She is the only person ever to win Emmys for three different comedy programs.

In third place, John Lithgow, Art Carney, Tim Conway, Tyne Daly and Carl Reiner are tied with six wins each. Reiner actually has nine Emmys if you add the ones he received as a writer and producer for "The Dick Van Dyke Show" in the 1960s.

Betty White, another "Mary Tyler Moore" alum, has won five Primetime Emmys and two Daytime

statuettes.

As for Daytime Emmys, Anthony Geary has won a record eight for acting -- all for his performances as Luke Spencer on the long-running ABC soap opera "General Hospital."

Cloris Leachman has won eight Primetime Emmys and one Daytime Emmy. But keep your eyes on Allison Janney, who won her seventh Primetime Emmy for her work during the 2014-2015 season. For the second year in a row, Janney won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Bonnie Plunkett in the CBS sitcom "Mom." She is now tied for second place in overall acting wins with Edward Asner and Mary Tyler Moore.

Janney won her first four Emmys between 2000 and 2004 for her performances as White House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg on Aaron Sorkin's drama series "The West Wing." She received a 2013-2014 Emmy as Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her stints in Showtime's "Masters of Sex."
