Jeremy Allen White took a 400-pound memento to remember his time on The Bear.
The Emmy winner, 35, shared on the Tuesday, June 2, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that he walked away with “many” souvenirs from the set of the hit Hulu dramedy, which wrapped production on its fifth and final season in early March. (Season 5 premieres June 25 on Hulu.)
However, the most memorable keepsake he took from the Chicago set was a butcher’s block table that has been part of the furniture since season 1.
White said the prop was “in the corner of The Beef, the restaurant that you saw when the show started [as] a sandwich shop,” noting that it’s the “only thing that really remained during the evolution of The Beef into The Bear, which is the fine dining restaurant” his character, Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, establishes during the show’s run.
Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri formed a strong friendship while working on The Bear. The costars met on set in 2022 while filming the FX series, which follows a chef named Carmy (White) as he returns to Chicago to run his older brother Mikey’s restaurant following his death. Edebiri, meanwhile, plays Carmy’s coworker and […]
“It remained in the same corner. It was the only thing from the old world that came into our new world,” he explained. “And I stole that.”
White continued, “I got it shipped out. It weighs about 400 pounds. … It’s in my driveway under a tarp. I just know that wherever it lands, it’s going to stay there, so I’m just being very careful about where I put it.”
The Bear was an immediate success for Hulu when it premiered in 2022. Costarring Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, the first season won 10 Emmy awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor for White, and supporting actor nods for Edebiri and Moss-Bachrach.
White repeated his Emmy victory in 2024, but narrowly missed out on Outstanding Lead Actor for season 3 in 2025. The award went to The Studio actor Seth Rogen.
From The Bear to Outlander to Outer Banks, TV fans are gearing up to say goodbye to their favorite shows in 2026. Outer Banks, which debuted in 2020, follows the conflict between two groups of teenagers in a coastal North Carolina town. The social divide is introduced with the wealthy residents (a.k.a. the Kooks) and […]
The Bear’s fourth season is eligible for this year’s Emmys, while the final season will be eligible in 2027.
In an interview with Us Weekly in September 2025, White’s costar Abby Elliott said, “I don’t want it to end. I love everybody. I love this family, the characters and also the real-life actors. We’re now very close. I could see endless stories.”
“The show could go on if that was ahead of us. We all have fallen in love with the characters and want to see what they do and want to see how they continue living and how the restaurant continues,” she continued. “Personally, I think that there are just stories upon stories still to be told.”
In May, however, Hulu confirmed the show’s fifth season will be its last. All episodes will be available to stream on June 25.
