'Abbot Elementary' star and creator Quinta Brunson crashed Jimmy Kimmel's opening monologue in hopes of an Emmy speech redo.
, the multi-hyphenate comedian crashed the late-night host’s opening monologue Wednesday in hopes of a redo.
The actress and writer — who also serves as the hit comedy series’ creator — walked onstage near the conclusion of the comedian’s opening bit, to significant applause from the audience. After sauntering up to Kimmel, who offered a few lines of feigned surprise, Brunson got down to business and explained she was looking for a second chance at reclaiming her moment in the spotlight.
“You know how when you win an Emmy, you have have 45 seconds to do an acceptance speech, which is, like, not that much time?” Brunson asked. “And then, someone does like — you get less time because someone does a dumb comedy bit that goes on a bit too long?” Sheepishly, Kimmel acknowledged the slight before allowing Brunson to continue.
As Kimmel retreated to the rear of the stage, Brunson delivered an impassioned list of thank-yous to everyone from her publicity team andproducers, to “the internet, for raising for me.” She also lobbed a playful joke to her writing staff. “To all my writers watching, I couldn’t have this without you,” she said. “Now please, go to bed, because we have work tomorrow — even though we’re adults and I have no jurisdiction when you sleep.”
