The Bear has garnered acclaim from critics and fans alike since its June 2022 premiere. It has also attracted more attention for leading man White, who had fans obsessing over him because of the series.

"It's been pretty wild the way it's connected with so many people," he told PEOPLE in August.

White also put a lot of work into the role, even working at Michelin-starred restaurants.

"I had two months before we shot the pilot, and I was working really hard. I had a station set up in my hotel room, and every night I was trying to do 30 minutes to an hour of knife work before I'd go to bed," he also said at the time.

"Prior to the show, I really was useless in a kitchen. We went to shoot the series in January, February — so all December I was really cooking," he added. "I did Christmas Eve dinner, I did Christmas Day dinner for me and my family — all big meals. I love a Sunday roast. I love something really hearty, almost wintry comfort food. I'll do short ribs, roasted vegetables, some kind of potato. That's what I like to make and what I like to eat."

The Bear was renewed for a second season in July 2022. After winning his award on Tuesday, White spoke about the show's second season, noting that he was unaware of what creator Christopher Storer had in the works.

"Really and truly, I haven't read anything. I've been bothering Chris all night," he said. "He says January 15th."
