Ayo Edebiri, star of the critically acclaimed FX series “The bear,” joked during a recent appearance on “Late Night with seth Meyers” that she’s prepared to take on a new role behind the camera in the show’s upcoming season: operating the boom microphone.
Edebiri’s playful comment, made during the October 2, 2025, broadcast, stemmed from a conversation about the intensely collaborative nature of “The Bear” and the cast’s willingness to pitch in wherever needed. The actress, who plays Sydney Adamu, explained that cast members often assist with various production tasks when not actively filming. “I was saying to someone, like, ‘Honestly, at this point, I’ll just operate the boom. I’m there for it,'” Edebiri quipped.
“The Bear” has garnered widespread praise for its realistic portrayal of the high-pressure environment of a chicago restaurant. The show has earned numerous awards, including a Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy in 2023 and multiple Primetime Emmy Awards. Season three concluded on June 27, 2024, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the next installment, which is currently in pre-production. Edebiri’s lighthearted offer to handle boom operation underscores the dedication and camaraderie that define the show’s creative process.
