'The Bear' Shatters Emmys Comedy Series Record with 23 Nominations

After its first season won six awards at least year's Emmys, The Bear's new total of 23 nominations surpasses the previous record of 22, which has been held by Tina Fey's 30 Rock since 2009. Remarkably, this comes only two seasons into the Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri-led show's run, while 30 Rock had seven seasons before ending in 2012. White and Edebiri were obviously nominated in the lead player categories, while co-stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce and Liza Colon-Zayas earned supporting nods.

The Bear goes up against Abbott Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, Palm Royale, Reservation Dogs and What We Do in the Shadows in the race for Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2024 Emmys.
