One year after receiving the first Emmy of his illustrious career, Newhart is again among the nominees for outstanding guest actor in a comedy for his portrayal of Professor Proton, the host of the favorite childhood TV show of Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki) on CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory.”

The other nominees are Fallon and Louis C.K., both nominated for hosting NBC’s “Saturday Night Live”; Nathan Lane for  a “Modern Family” appearance as a flamboyant friend of Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson); Steve Buscemi as a down-on-his-luck salesman tasked with making celery go viral on IFC’s “Portlandia”; and Gary Cole as the president’s senior strategist on HBO’s “Veep.”

Fey and McCarthy received outstanding guest actress in a comedy nominations for hosting “Saturday Night Live.” All but one of the other nominations in the category went to actresses from “Orange is the New Black” –– Uzo Aduba, Laverne Cox and Natasha Lyonne. Joan Cusack from “Shameless” is the other nominee.

Fonda is a nominee for outstanding guest actress in a drama series for the second consecutive year for her portrayal of the CEO of the network’s parent company on HBO’s “The Newsroom.”

White (“Betty White’s Off Their Rockers”) and Jane Lynch (“Hollywood Game Night”) are among the nominees for outstanding host of a reality or reality-competition program, along with last year’s winners, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn from “Project Runway” and the 2012 winner, Tom Bergeron from “Dancing With The Stars.” The other nominees are Cat Deeley (“So You Think You Can Dance”) and Anthony Bourdain (“The Taste”).

Lynch is also nominated for outstanding narrator, along with Whoopi Goldberg, Daniel Craig, Jeremy Irons and Henry Strozier.

Goldberg has been nominated for a prime-time Emmy seven previous times, but has not won. She is among 12 people to win a Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony in competition, thanks to two Daytime Emmy Awards.

Two prominent names are also associated with nominees for outstanding short-format nonfiction program — “Jay Leno’s Garage,” which is streamed on NBC.com and “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee,” the Crackle program hosted by comedian Jerry Seinfeld.

She also recommended that Carroll O’Connor be cast as Archie Bunker in the groundbreaking 1970s CBS comedy “All in the Family.”
