See 'The Bear' star Ayo Edebiri's reaction upon meeting Reba McEntire at the Emmys: 'Literally my legs are shaking'

At the 76th annual Emmy Awards on Sunday night, "The Bear" star Ayo Edebiri had a fangirl moment meeting country queen Reba McEntire.

Edebiri, who was up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Jean Smart of "Hacks" won the honor), ran into McEntire and Melissa Peterman on the red carpet.

Edebiri said that she was going to cry and was trying hard to act normal in front of the two "Reba" stars. "Literally my legs are shaking," she said. "Oh my god."

"I truly spent so many hours of my life with both of you," Edebiri said to them.

Peterman responded, "We're spending hours with you now!"

Peterman, McEntire and Edebiri got together for a photo with Edebiri in the middle. She said, "Oh my god. How am I in the middle? That's crazy."

Peterman, 53, and McEntire, 69, are reuniting over a decade after "Reba" went off air with their new NBC sitcom "Happy's Place." The show will premiere on NBC on Oct. 18.

On Sunday, "The Bear” broke the record for the most Emmys won by a comedy in a single year — garnering 11 wins from 23 total nominations. Last year, the show won 10 Emmys.

"The Bear," which has released three seasons, stars Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach alongside Edebiri. It follows the harsh realities of owning and operating a restaurant, peering into kitchen culture, exploring trauma and mental health.
