Why we love him: On a show that's all about repressed emotion (c'mon, Alicia, Kalinda, somebody — crack a smile!), Cumming is a tour de force of ­agitation as the screaming, swearing, wildly ­gesticulating image consultant. ­Anytime Eli's raging about something (Osama bin Laden! Santa Claus!), ­Cumming's face is so extraordinarily expressive, his eyebrows should win their own Emmy.
Best moment: Having a meltdown while watching children vomit up ­cheddar cheese on television. Wisconsin State Dairy Guild rep: ''I'm worried this is going to keep people from ­purchasing cheese.'' Eli, arching those eyebrows: ''Ya think?'' —Melissa Maerz
