Rob Reiner Nets Posthumous Emmy for The Bear, Breaking Long-Standing Records
Rob Reiner won the outstanding guest actor in a comedy series Emmy for FX’s The Bear posthumously, nine months after his death, beating out contenders like Michael J. Fox and Brett Goldstein. The 37-year gap since his last Emmy win—and the record it breaks for his family with his father Carl Reiner—are highlighted, as presenter Wendi McLendon-Covey accepted the trophy on his behalf during Emmy Night 2 amid broader coverage of nominations and upcoming airings.
