Jeremy Allen White is losing his mind in the best way possible over Liza Colon-Zayas’ massive Emmy victory. I mean, he might’ve cried—just speculating. The 52-year-old queen of comedy snatched the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Tina in The Bear at the 2024 Emmys. Oh, and did we mention? She made history as the first Latina to ever win in this category. No big deal. Just casually rewriting the history books.
Meanwhile, Jeremy, 33, a.k.a. Mr. “I’m Winning Emmys Like It’s My Day Job,” took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for the second year running. Two years, two trophies. He’s probably running out of space on his shelf at this point.
But forget about him, because after Liza’s big moment, Jeremy turned into her unofficial hype man, fanboying like he’d just seen a double rainbow or found out his pizza got a free upgrade. “It was the BEST, man!” Jeremy practically shouted to E! News, still basking in the glow of Liza’s Emmy glory. “I was chilling backstage, and then BOOM, I hear she won. So I sprint into the wings—probably broke a sweat—and I got this epic, front-row, solo view of her soaking in her moment. No crowd, just me and the universe saying, ‘Yup, this is magic.'”
And as if the gushing wasn’t already at maximum levels, Jeremy just kept going, “She nailed her speech, like, it was so good, I forgot how words work for a second. She’s seriously one of the best actors we’ve got on this planet. Honestly, it’s about time the world caught up with what we all knew—she’s a powerhouse, and this award? It’s just the beginning of her world domination tour.”
Jeremy Allen White: actor, Emmy-winner, and apparently the world’s best cheerleader. Stay tuned for the next award season, where he might just carry Liza on his shoulders while she accepts her next trophy.
