Peter Scolari, who plays Lena Dunham’s father Tad on HBO’s "Girls", has been tapped as the new nominee for the Emmy Awards’ Guest Actor in a Comedy Series category.

He replaces Peter MacNicol, who was originally nominated for his role on HBO’s "Veep" last week but was disqualified yesterday when the TV Academy discovered he had appeared in more than 50% of the show’s 10 episodes. That’s too much to be eligible as a “guest” actor, TV Academy rules say.
