"As an Emmy Award winner and 16-time nominee for roles on Cybill, Frasier, The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and The Gilded Age, her ability to tap into comedy, drama surrealism, and everything in between speaks to her ability to elevate each role and series she is a part of," she continued.

Previous winners include Henry Winkler, James L. Brooks, Norman Lear, Marcy Carsey, Phylicia Rashad, Michael J. Fox, Lesli Linka Glatter and James Burrows, a press release states.
