My hilarious father, who loved me unconditionally and taught me the value of failure.&quot;</p><p>One of the co-executive producers of “The Bear” is Filipino-American actor-writer-producer Rene Gube, who has also acted on the show and was on the hit series “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”.</p><p>&quot;If you&#x27;re Filipino out there and you&#x27;re looking to get into this business, I gotta say, do it,&quot; said Gube. &quot;You&#x27;ve got an amazing story. Just put your head down and drill, drill, drill, and something good is going to happen.&quot;</p><p>Meanwhile, another Fil-Am talent, Leann Bowen, was a writer and co-executive producer of the multiple Emmy awards winner “Ted Lasso”.</p><p>Bowen recalled her Filipino grandparents’ influence in her career.</p><p>&quot;My lolo (grandfather) was maybe the funniest person I know,&quot; said Bowen. &quot;And he helped me with my comedic timing. The thing I loved the most is they fostered hard work and (stayed) grounded.&quot;</p><p>The Emmys also celebrated special moments in TV history by reuniting the casts of several iconic hit shows like “Cheers,” “Sopranos,” “Ally McBeal,” and “Grey’s Anatomy.”</p><p>&quot;That&#x27;s a true blessing,&quot; said Kelsey Grammer on giving joy to their audience. &quot;It&#x27;s the greatest thing in my life that I can actually make other people&#x27;s lives better.&quot;</p><p>Charlie Puth and the husband-and-wife team of The War and Treaty also performed during a segment that paid tribute to beloved TV talents who have passed away.</p>
