The honour, however, went to William H Macy for Shameless. Other nominees in the category were – Anthony Anderson (Black-ish), Larry David (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Sean Hayes (Will & Grace) and Marc Maron (GLOW).
Interestingly, Ansari had won the Golden Globe in the same category, in which Macy was snubbed.
