When asked which episode she helped write, unsure, Ayo responded, “I think it’s four.”

“That came to happen because we were talking about the season and I feel like a similar thing sort of happened last season where I directed an episode, where we were just talking to Chris [the showrunner], and Chris sort of has an idea,” Ayo shared. “That sort of came about and then I got to co-write it with Lionel Boyce, who plays Marcus on the show, and yeah, it’s really fun. There’s some cool people in it.”

Jimmy Kimmel then asked if anyone complained about the lines she wrote for them.

“No, no, no. I don’t, not to my face,” she replied with a laugh. “But it’s cool too ’cause I feel like, you know, it was something that’s… I started out writing for TV, and I feel like acting has informed my writing so much. Now that I know what it’s like to be on set, it’s like yeah, I think Sydney might just only want to say ‘mhm’ during this scene, you know? It’s not like a monologue.”

If you didn’t know, The Bear‘s fourth season will be available to stream in full on June 25th on Hulu. Watch the trailer here!

FYI: Ayo is wearing a Jacquemus dress with Gianvito Rossi shoes, Jessica McCormack jewelry and Oliver Peoples sunglasses.
