An argument could be made for virtually every cast member of The Good Place to be on this list of scene stealers, but Manny Jacinto as Jason is just so lovable, so simple and so funny. That's saying a lot for a show filled with so many forking great comedic performances, but Jacinto can slide in, say a line, smile, and steal the show.
The reunion of Ryan Murphy and Leslie Grossman has yielded so many wonderful jokes and scenes. The two previously worked together on Popular, and Murphy brought Grossman back into his orbit with American Horror Story: Cult. She's now lamenting the lack of Pirate's Booty during the apocalypse on AHS: Apocalypse and we're all about it. Her over-the-top hair is just icing on the cake. Grossman and Murphy go together perfectly.
As Paula, Donna Lynne Champlin often is the emotional core of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Her performance—and don't forget that voice!—often stops us in our tracks. She handles drama and comedy like a pro. This is the last season of Crazy Ex, so casting directors, snap her up!
Kidding features an adult cast of some of the best of the best. We're talking Jim Carrey, Catherine Keener and Judy Greer, yet Cole Allen is able to go toe-to-toe with his costars with ease. Almost too much ease...
You may know her from Crazy Rich Asians or Ex Machina, but Sonoya Mizuno shines so bright in Maniac, which is a feat considering she's in scenes with the likes of Justin Theroux, Jonah Hill and Emma Stone.
Lyric Ross took Deja, who could've been a one-note (and irritating) character, and transformed her into one of the most-compelling figures on This Is Us, a show full of praise-worthy performances. When Ross' Deja is on the screen, we're paying attention.
Rhea Seehorn does such nuanced work as Kim Wexler on the AMC drama. Her calm and composed character underwent a subtle transformation that made for fascinating television over the years. The show is named Better Call Saul, but we're tuning in each week to see what's going on with Kim.
Natasha Rothwell is a straight up gift as Kelli on HBO's Insecure. She's a catchphrase queen who is able to straddle zingers, physical comedy and emotional moments to ease. Rothwell is also a writer on the show, so you know she's that funny in real life too. If she doesn't get an Emmy nomination for this season, specifically her work in "High-Like," which contained edible drugs, an encounter with a taser and wet pants, there is no justice in this world.
Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes basically invented the term "scene stealers." As Karen and Jack, these two continually deliver some of the best lines with timing unlike no other.
