'Abbott Elementary' Writer Seemingly Shades 'The Bear' Emmy Nominations
HuffPost
Some don't think the FX series is a comedy.
A writer for ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” seemingly took aim at FX’s “The Bear” after the two shows received Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series.
“Proud of Abbott Elementary for all of its Emmy nominations this year, especially Outstanding Comedy series as we are definitely a program where the majority of the running time of at least 6 episodes are primarily comedic, as defined by the TV Academy,” Joya McCrory wrote Wednesday on X, formerly Twitter.
Along with the comedy series nod, multiple actors on “The Bear” were nominated in comedy categories, including Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri. The show set a new Emmy record for comedy series nods in a single year, at 23.
Though McCrory did not mention “The Bear” by name, her tweet came as a number of people criticized its Emmy nominations, since some don’t consider it a comedy.
