Laraine Newman Sparks Debate With NSFW Tweet After Daughter Hannah Einbinder Loses Emmy

The 'SNL' alum posted and then deleted a profane tweet on X after her daughter, 'Hacks' star Hannah Einbinder, lost the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series to 'The Bear' star Liza ColĂłn-Zayas.

While many winners who nabbed statuettes at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night were celebrated, not everyone approved.

This is par for the course, given the fact there can be only one winner in each category.


However, SNL alum Laraine Newman was livid that her daughter, Hacks star Hanna Einbinder, lost out to The Bear actor Liza ColĂłn-Zayas in the category for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

Newman, who was part of the original cast of Saturday Night Live when it debuted in 1975, was so miffed about her daughter being snubbed that she vented her frustration on X (formerly Twitter) with a fiery post that has since been taken down.

The X post read:

"F**K. THE. BEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Bear is a hugely popular FX television show described as a psychological comedy-drama, qualifying ColĂłn-Zayas in the category for Outstanding Supporting Actress.

However, many critics and viewers thought the show, about a young chef who worked in Michelin-starred restaurants and returned to his native of Chicago to run an Italian sandwich shop he inherited, leaned more towards drama than laugh-out-loud comedy.

Hacks, on the other hand, is also a comedy-drama that follows a young comedy writer (played by Einbinder) and her turbulent working relationship with a legendary stand-up comic portrayed by Emmy winner Jean Smart. While there are moments of drama, the overall tone of the show is outrageously irreverent and often leaves viewers in stitches.

Ahead of the ceremony, The Bear made history for most nominations in a single year in the comedy category with 23 noms and set a new record for most wins with 11, besting their own record of 10 last year.

ColĂłn-Zayas won her first Emmy as Outstanding Supporting Actress, making her the first Latina in history to win in the category.

But that was neither here nor there for Newman, whose rant about all the hype surrounding The Bear was not a first.

Before the Emmys, Newman groused in another deleted post:

"Every time I think about The Bear being in the comedy category for the Emmys I can feel an ulcer developing."

She followed up with another post, writing:

"I think the Bear is a great show but IMHO it's not a comedy - not even a dark comedy."


Despite her take on The Bear's genre, social media users thought her complaints disrespected the historical Emmy win for the first Latina actor in the category.

People weighed in on the category debate. Some thought The Bear was most definitely a comedy.


While others backed Newman's stance.





Hacks ultimately clinched the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
