The joke that this show is a comedy is the only funny thing about it.

I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I’ve been an actor since I was 19. I’m 65. I sold yogurt that makes you shit for seven years, and I just never thought in my life that I would get to do work at this level, depth and complexity and intelligence. It’s just been the thrill of my creative life these last couple years that I get these opportunities, so I’m humble and incredibly grateful.”
Although fans will hope Curtis continues to excel in the coming years, fans still remain bamboozled byThe Bear‘s comedy tag, and there seems to be a very simple explanation behind it.

AlthoughThe Bearhad its moments of laughs, at the core, the show is extremely stress-inducing, which follows the frenetic lives of the characters at a Gourmet Restaurant. As for its comedy label at Emmys, it’s important to note that the Television Academy plays no role when it comes to choosing what categories a show should compete in. So we’ve FX to blame for it, as the network submittedThe Bearas a comedy at the Emmys.
