63rd Primetime Emmy Awards

Michael J. Fox slyly mocks his stature (1986)

It was David vs. Goliath. Or, in the case of 1986's award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, the Fox (Michael J. for his role as young Republican Alex on "Family Ties") vs. the hound (Ted Danson as charming ladies' man ... moreSam on "Cheers"). The young Fox triumphed over his veteran counterpart, who'd have to wait four more years for his trophy. Mid-speech, as a nod to his diminutive nature, Fox kidded, "I feel 4 feet tall." If that was true, then how small did Danson feel?
