“Abbott Elementary” Creator Quinta Brunson Had To Step Over Jimmy Kimmel To Collect Her Emmy
Despite having been nominated for and losing the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Show for the 11th year in a row, Jimmy Kimmel still managed to become the #TalkofTwitter last night at the 2022 Emmy Awards ceremony for stepping over first-time nominee Quinta Brunson’s big moment when she had to literally step over his ass to get to the podium to collect her Emmy for Best Writing in a Comedy series. OK, not literally. Jimmy was laying on his back playing dead on stage, so more accurately she literally had to step over his crotch which proved to me that not only did she earn that Emmy with her talent, but she also deserves an award for Best Restraint for not piercing his nut sack with a well placed 10” stiletto heel. Brava, my Short Queen!
Quinta Brunson Says People Keep Asking Her To Do A School Shooting Episode On “Abbot Elementary”
If you’ve ever watched an episode of the charming (and also very funny) elementary school sitcom Abbott Elementary by TIME 100 influential person Quinta Brunson, then you know it’s generally a light-hearted show about the ha-ha-has of teaching at a public school. But I guess some people see the “Elementary” in Abbott Elementary, and the most corroded wrinkle of their brain goes straight to wondering how Sheryl Lee Ralph and Principal Coleman would handle an active shooter situation. A lot of people think that way because Quinta recently revealed that she gets asked to write a school shooter episode a lot.
Mary J. Blige, Keanu Reeves, Zendaya, Joe Rogan And Kris Jenner All Made The Time 100 List Of The World’s Most Influential People
Last year Prince Harry and Meghan Markle graced the cover of Time Magazine’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world and since then, have done jack shit in the way of influence. They were featured in the Icons section, but those tricks can’t even launch an Instagram page let alone a revolution. So Time gave them the year off to get their shit together and Mary J. Blige has taken their place as the face of the Time 100’s Icons section. Mary shares the honor with Issa Rae, Keanu Reeves, Jon Batiste, and Adele plus a couple of people who actually worked for the accolade. And because you can’t even get the “Uh” out of Adele without James Corden popping up out of nowhere like a singing telegram sent by the devil himself, James wrote Adele’s intro and used it as an excuse to brag about her “singing in the kitchen, or belting at the top of her voice solely to make [his] children laugh.” It’s like, we get it, James, she’s your bestie. But if she’s so influential, then explain what happened to your career?
