‘SNL’ Alum Laraine Newman Says ‘I Can Feel an Ulcer Developing’ Over ‘The Bear’ Being a Comedy at the Emmys: ‘It’s Not Even a Dark Comedy’


Laraine Newman railed against "The Bear" for competing as a comedy at the Emmys. The "SNL" alum is the mother of "Hacks" actor Hannah Einbinder.

Newman, who was on “SNL for five years and who is also the mother of “ Hacks ” star Hannah Einbinder, called out the show for category fraud. “Every time I think about ‘The Bear’ being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing,” Newman posted on X (formerly Twitter) shortly before the awards ceremony kicked off. It was Einbinder’s third nomination for “Hacks,” which ended up prevailing over “The Bear” to win outstanding comedy series in what many pundits believed to be the biggest upset of the Emmys.
