LOS ANGELES -- Liza Colón-Zayas who plays Tina Marrero in FX's "The Bear" won the Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

We caught up with the star before the big show to hear her thoughts on being nominated at the 76th Emmys. She mentions she didn't write a speech in anticipation of another name being called as the winner for her category.

"It's a dream come true that I didn't think would ever happen," she said. "It's been such a whirlwind, I haven't had a chance to write one but it's okay, Carol Burnett knows what to say."

This is the first Emmy nomination for Colón-Zayas.
