Jimmy Kimmel had distracted attention from Quinta Brunson’s Emmy acceptance speech by lying pretend-drunk on stage.
"Abbott Elementary" creator-star Quinta Brunson took revenge on Jimmy Kimmel’s Emmy prank with one of her own, then collected an apology from the late-night host whose bit was criticized as rude and worse.
"Abbott Elementary," a mockumentary set in an underfunded Philadelphia school, earned a total of three Emmy Awards for its freshman season, including one for co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph for best comedy supporting actress. "That was a dumb comedy bit that we thought it would be funny," he said. "Then people got upset, they said I stole your moment. And maybe I did. I’m very sorry if I did do that. I did do that, actually. ... The last thing I would ever want to do is upset you, because I think so much of you. I think you know that. I hope you know that."
