Ayo Edebiri’s guest appearance on CBS Mornings stole the spotlight after her playful exchange with host Gayle King that prompted Julia Roberts to join the fun.
The actress-comedian and the Hollywood A-lister sat down to promote their newly released movie, After the Hunt, alongside Andrew Garfield.
Midway through the interview, King, who referred to the 30-year-old as “the new Julia Roberts,” asked if she could see herself starring in a Julia Roberts remake film.
Edebiri, who appeared stunned by the question, strongly refused to answer.
“Oh no! No! No! It’s a trap,” she said, though she thought that it was a “good question.”
The broadcast journalist assured her that it “was not a trap” but shared that she asked her out of curiosity.

— ayo’s wannabe best friend ? (@writtenbyayo) October 13, 2025“I’m just fascinated by someone who admired her and you’re an actress. That’s what I mean,” she clarified.
Although Edebiri had second-guessed whether she should answer, Roberts stepped in and answered for her co-star.
“I'm trying to think of what kind of…but you’ll be great in all of them,” she said.
The Pretty Woman star then named two films that she thought could fit the actress.
“One is obvious and one is less obvious,” Roberts shared. “One is My Bestfriend’s Wedding because you’re so funny, physical…and great. I was gonna say August: Osage County,” to which the Opus star also agreed.
On the other hand, it seemed the public agreed with what King had just called Edebiri.
“Not that it means anything regarding capabilities and talent, but their profiles are the same…can’t unsee it,” one wrote.
Another fan also shared her thoughts, noting that The Bear star would be an ideal choice for an iconic Julia Roberts role.
“The concept of ayo edebiri being in the sequel of my best friend’s wedding that is currently being written by Celine Song,” a commenter remarked.
The same goes for a different social media user who thought that the award-winning tragicomedy film was tailor-made for her.
“Ayo would be excellent in August Osage County, omg,” a fan said.
Besides starring in a new movie, she’s also making waves in the fashion scene as Chanel’s newest ambassador.
