Below is the audio of our discussion, and the ten semi-finalists for the category and the episode they sent in for consideration.

This isn't a very awe-inspiring category, but one interesting sub-plot is that, for the first time ever, cast members from Saturday Night Live have become eligible for nomination in the acting awards and, as a result, Amy Poehler made the short list for nomination.  Something to keep an eye on.

Kristin Chenoweth, Pushing Daisies ("Girth")
Conchata Ferrell, Two and a Half Men ("Fish in a Drawer")
Jenna Fischer, The Office ("Fun Run")
Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock ("The Collection")
Judith Light, Ugly Betty ("I See Me, ICU")
Elizabeth Perkins, Weeds ("Risk")
Amy Poehler, Saturday Night Live ("Tina Fey")
Jean Smart, Samantha Who? ("The Girlfriend")
Holland Taylor, Two and a Half Men ("Media Room Slash Dungeon")
Vanessa Williams, Ugly Betty ("Bananas for Betty")
