Brunson, and her show are getting 10x the coverage due to Kimmel’s stunt.I think she’s probably OK with that.I watched the first couple shows and really liked it. I’ve got it all recorded, but for whatever reason, I’ve never gotten around to catching up. All the Emmy coverage of her is reminding me that I need to.
Yeah, how else would people be drawn to her little Emmy-winning network comedy if it weren’t for Jimmy Kimmel?!I agree Quinta seems mostly unbothered by the bit, as am I, but it’s just dumb to suggest that she appreciates the headlines about it, as if she really needs help generating publicity for the show when it’s already been so successful and has just been recognized by the most prestigious awards body in the industry. There were also plenty of people talking about Sheryl Lee Ralph’s acceptance speech too. Anyway, go finish watching Abbott. It’s a good time.

What, exactly, do you think the point of awards shows is? It’s to get more EXPOSURE. That’s why they’re televised. That’s why they’re 3+ hours long. That’s why EVERYONE dresses up. THAT’S WHY THE EMMYS ARE HELD DAYS BEFORE THE FALL SEASON STARTS.It’s ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL about publicity. ALL OF IT.Of COURSE she needs and wants CONTINUING coverage of her show, especially considering that the new season starts in SIX DAYS.I mean, for the sake of fuck, do you not understand the entertainment industry AT ALL?
Awards success doesn’t equal viewers. Look at Arrested Development, which won Best Comedy and just kept losing viewers, and that was in a far less competitive environment.
That’s true but irrelevant. My point was Abbott Elementary is not a struggling, on-the-bubble show. It’s already a commercial and critical success—if we’re talking Emmy-winning comedies, it’s a lot closer to Modern Family than Arrested Development. Per Variety, it is ABC’s highest-rated comedy in two years among 18-49 and tied for first for comedies in the demo.Also, OP was saying Quinta Brunson is probably happy for the attention that Kimmel’s bit brought, which feels disrespectful of the fact that she won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing and would be getting plenty of recognition for her achievements alone. On top of her already doing quite well before winning.
What a juvenile display: pretending to be drunk and dragged onto the stage. The whole world got to watch as yet another Black woman has to stand by and wait for a vain white man to stop acting like a fool. Four hundred years of patience on that woman’s face, smh.
Huh. A juvenile display? Almost like it was comedy, meant as a joke.eh?You know during the presentation of the best COMEDY award?“The whole world got to watch as yet another Black woman has to stand by and wait for a vain white man to stop acting like a fool.” Ah, HERE it is. Hey, you IGNORANT FUCK. You know that Arnett and Kimmel didn’t know who was going to win, right? You understand how awards shows work?Go walk into traffic, you pathetic fuck.
Does she really think he’s a “comedy godfather”? He sleepwalks through his show using outdated bits like those stupid street interviews and pretty much everything involving Guillermo which is just painfully unfunny. Everyone seems to have forgotten he hosted ‘The Man Show’. He doesn’t host these things because he’s the best. It’s his proximity to where they hold the event that makes him an easy choice. He’s a total hack. This is why he doesn’t win his own Emmy. I saw that Quinta thinks of Jimmy as the first one to support her show but that was network synergy since she’s also on ABC. He made it all about him and it was pathetic.

Wow, they misspelled the name of the show:
I love that they edited it this time, but every other time they don’t give a shit.

A good time? Meh. A derivative time, perhaps.

Pretty much how I’d expect Barbara to react too.
I guess I’m just showing my age but when the fuck did we hit the point where Kimmel could possibly be considered one of the godfathers of comedy?
Jimmy and Quinta think otherwise… https://www.avclub.com/quinta-brunson-crashed-jimmy-kimmel-live-monologue-1849538196

I doubt it. She’s just letting him fluff himself up. She’s a revolutionary but she’s still gracious.
Stop being upset on other peoples’ behalf when they themselves aren’t fucking upset!
You have no idea whether or not Quinta Brunson is upset because she is being a class act about. Which is more than anyone can say about Jimmy Kimmel.
