"The Bear" Star Ayo Edebiri's Surprising Irish Connection

Actress Ayo Edebiri has been humorously thanking Ireland in her awards acceptance speeches and interviews, stemming from a joke about playing a donkey in an Ireland-set film. Her comedic relationship with the social network Letterboxd and humorous reviews have added to the confusion, with people now using her award wins and press to make inside jokes about it. As she continues to win awards, it seems likely that the joke will persist.
