The late and great Rob Reiner has won an Emmy, nine months after his death.

Reiner won the outstanding guest actor in a comedy series for “The Bear” at the Emmy Awards Night 2, prevailing over Michael J. Fox and Brett Goldstein (“Shrinking”), Hamish Linklater (“Widow’s Bay”), Christopher McDonald (“Hacks”) and Connor Storrie (“Saturday Night Live”). It is a posthumous honor for the director and actor who was killed alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in December — and the first posthumous Emmy for an on-camera performance since Raúl Julia won for “The Burning Season” in 1995.
