Cryer is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Dr. Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men.

It’s great to have some new people in the category, because it’s some new people I can lose to. This year, I’ve decided that if I lose I’m just going to lose it completely and beat the crud out of somebody sitting near me. … I think people will watch the Emmy telecast just to see who in the heck I beat up.

An open letter to Neil Patrick Harris: Hello Neil Patrick Harris, It’s me, Jon Cryer, your worst nightmare.
Yes, that’s right Neil Patrick Harris, the Television Academy has, once again, seen fit to nominate us both in their ‘Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series’ category. Once again we will be joined in a battle of thespianism. Will it be like last year, when you wowed the crowd with your singing and dancing, entertained them and made them laugh, showed them that, clearly, you possess more talent in your tiny little pinky than the whole body of that stupid Jon Cryer guy, only to be brutally disappointed when our category was announced? We’ll see, Neil Patrick Harris, we’ll see. My lack of talent has taken me this far and I’m betting it won’t let me down again this year. Thankfully, the other gentlemen in this category are also supremely gifted. I’m a shoo-in!

In a year when nothing much has happened on our show and you could barely find a word about me or my co-stars on the Internet, it is lovely to be recognized by the Academy in this way!

I was actually awake this morning when they announced the Emmy nominations thanks to my newfound need to pee several times a night. Finally, my enlarged prostate pays off!!
