At the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards, Michael J. Fox, 65, is being honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.
Over the course of his career, Fox has been nominated for 19 Emmys and has won five, including his first at the 38th Primetime Emmy Awards in 1986. Fox won Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties.
At the award show, a then-25-year-old Fox won alongside Betty White, who won for her role in The Golden Girls. Also honored at the ceremony were Rhea Perlman (Cheers) and John Larroquette (Night Court).
Fox also made history with his first Emmy win, becoming the youngest actor to ever win the prize.
He reflected on the memorable night and his now iconic acceptance speech in 2014. He shared that he was in New York working on the film, The Secret of My Success, when he asked producer David Chasmine for some advice after learning of his nomination.
“I said, ‘I don’t know what to say,’ and he goes, ‘Well, make fun of yourself. Say you feel four feet tall,'” Fox recalled. “I said, ‘OK, if I win, which I don’t think I’m going to do, but if I win, first thing I am going to say is I feel four feet tall.’ It was an amazing moment.”
Fox went on to win two more years in a row for Family Ties before winning again in 2000 for Spin City and in 2011 for his guest role in the drama series Rescue Me.
Now, he is the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award winner for his “transformative contributions to Parkinson’s disease research and advocacy.” Fox publicly disclosed his diagnosis with Parkinson’s in 1991 at the age of 29. Since its creation in 2001, the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research has raised more than $2.5 billion.
“Of course, things have gotten harder over the years,” he told People magazine. “I’m privileged to commit my time and energy to bringing everything I’ve got to help cure this disease.”
