Don Knotts was one of the best performers of all-time, look where he ranks among his Contemporaries, just think if how many emmys he would have won had he stayed for the duration of the Andy Griffith show:

Yep Knotts was one of the all time greats, but actually he won three of his emmys after he quit being a regular on the Griffith show, I believe he won his last three emmys in the guest star category for his guest appearances on the Griffith Show (1965-1968).

Actually it was 2 emmys as a guest star role, but that still does not deminish his talent. His emmys are as follows:
