The Bear swept the comedy categories at Monday night’s 75th Emmy Awards with six wins, including Best Comedy Series.
But while the show has its fair share of laughs, is it actually a comedy? Online chatter this awards season argues otherwise, suggesting that it should have competed in the drama category given its often dramatic and anxiety inducing tone. However, the cast and crew would beg to differ.
When asked by reporters if they would consider the show a comedy backstage after the show’s final win of the night, star Jeremy Allen White exclaimed: “Yes!”
Added executive producer Josh Senior: “I think the show is true to life. Sometimes it’s funny, and sometimes it’s real. What we try to do is tell a real story.”
Senior explained that, because episodes of The Bear are roughly half an hour long, the series was eligible for the category, but that is not the only reason they feel the show should be competing as a comedy.
“What we want to do is tell the truth and make people feel things. If they’re laughing or crying…we can’t control what happens after that,” he said.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who won Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series earlier in the night for his performance, argued that “these ideas about comedy and drama are a little bit outdated.”
“We’re all just trying to reflect the mess of being human, which is deeply hilarious and we’re all suffering,” he suggested.
