His other Emmy nod came in 1996 for outstanding guest actor in a comedy for playing himself in The Larry Sanders Show on HBO.

During his acceptance speech, the actor made a plea to help refugees. “I want you to think about these people, who are the most vulnerable among us all over the world, who need our attention, more attention than you can imagine, so that they can have quality lives and bring their children up in a healthy, not war-torn, atmosphere and grow and live and prosper,” he said from the podium. “I think the whole world needs to do more. These are human beings. Take care of your neighbors [as] you would take care of yourself.”
