Quinta Brunson on Meeting Obama and Oprah, Filming Abbott Elementary in Philly & Hosting SNL

[@_melissamae]

The way she calls the young actors “her babies” is so sweet🥹 You can tell those kids are treated so well on set!!

[@NellieKAdaba]

I agree.

[@shaybar93]

I love Quinta because she’s like the girl next door. She’s real and authentic.

[@tonyguse]

Quinta deserves all the recognition and accolades. She is just phenomenal!!!❤

[@billyllewis]

Brunson was awesome on SNL. The Road Rage skit is already in my all time top 10 favorite SNL sketches.

[@femmebrulee5053]

I needed a laugh and looked up that SNL skit to satisfy me. I especially liked the part where towards the end she asks him if he's hungry and part of you thinks that she's gonna ask him if he wants to go get something to eat but then you realize, nah it's SNL and they did not disappoint.

[@bethmarshall482]

Agreed!!!

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

@@femmebrulee5053 I especially liked the part where they both point to the guy's daughter to mime a certain word AND how the father is really disturbed how at many hands the daughter uses to mime "you suck". Hilarious.

[@teribaker6547]

I agree!

[@ARealOne_2]

She's also been great in A Black Lady Sketch Show. Tyler James was great in History of the World Part II as well. The chemistry on Abbott Elementary is incredible, and *everyone* is great!

[@tomdarko7012]

"Nepo baby rhetoric" LMAO I'M DEAD 😂

[@treborretsnom6186]

Her SNL, "road rage" sketch, SHOULD WIN A FREAKING EMMY!!!!! funniest single sketch in a long minute, super creative

[@annanims7876]

I agree! It was Brilliant! All 3 actors were wonderful!!!

[@Abell_lledA]

I always thought she was the most likable person on Buzzfeed, and felt she was going to do big things 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@edithputhy4948]

so glad she became an actual TV celebrity unlike the Try Guys who are still stuck on youtube 😆

[@palmtreeguy4706]

You should play the lottery. Such foresight.

[@jordanchen23]

@@edithputhy4948 KZbin isn't that bad of a place to be if you're actually making bank, so mission accomplished. However, I do agree that if your goal is to become "conventionally famous/successful" then the SNL is more of a celebratory achievement which you could potentially leverage into greater earnings. I have no doubt some celebrities are willing to take a huge pay cut just for the chance to be a part of SNL.

[@exonerarme]

i was just gonna say i remember seeing her on buzzfeed, it’s so inspiring to see her on jimmy kimmel after seeing how far she’s come in production!!!

[@Kaice88]

delawarean here. when Jimmy said "a sandwich shop called WAWA's" it irked my soul lol. one) because its WAWA (thank you Quinta). and B)its so much MORE than JUST a sandwich shop! also I don't know about five days but ive definitely taken Wawa hoagies on 6 hour flights and they've held up pretty well. Just gotta get the wet things on the side lol. I love this success she's gained! she's worked hard and I love to see the fruits of her labor! she's so talented!

[@jameshoeve4466]

She's such a doll. 🎉❤

[@zazatv6822]

I love her , she got that positive energy.

[@dugoosewan]

As someone from the northeast, having Jimmy call Wawa a ‘sandwich shop’ is funny as hell. It’s a damn gas station that happens to also make sandwiches .

[@keepcalmanddanceon9128]

literally lol. it also made me realize that wawa doesn't exist on the west coast

[@shanikaayanna9767]

Wawa is so much more than a gas station! 😂

[@IFStravinsky]

@@shanikaayanna9767 Wawa started as a chain of convenience stores, like 7-11, only cleaner. They expanded to sandwiches, and added the gas pumps last, only in the last few years.

[@shanikaayanna9767]

@@IFStravinsky I’m confused by your response. Lol… I didn’t ask what Wawa was and I didn’t imply anything to prompt you to tell me what it was.

[@not2thick2befit77]

I think Jimmy is truly a fan! She's been on here so much. I love them!

[@warrennichols9745]

❤ I like when Quinta Brunson said she knows everyone from Philadelphia Pa sees her show and I said that's right and we see you know on Jimmy Kimmel on ABC 6. And we will always have love and respect for you. ❤

[@daniellegardner6617]

Philly girl here, and I never miss an episode of Abbott! 😘

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

She is just so delightful! She glows with positivity and loving vibes.

[@joannejohnson7006]

Authentic, charming and fun. What a beautiful soul and I love Abbott characters! Have a wonderful summer and congratulations on your new home ❤

[@juliancoats4188]

So genuine!!! And down to earth. Absolutely love her

[@rooseveltwilliams1073]

Quinta and Jimmie have good chemistry. I love it when she comes on his show.

Please God don't let the industry harm her beautiful spirit. Keep her covered in grace and mercy and humility. 😊

[@yeskev]

I'm so happy for her and her success. Quinta is awesome.

[@Handle2point0]

Such a talented human being. Support is at 100%

[@Lvetto]

I’m so glad her show found an audience so early! You hear people from The Office saying they weren’t even sure they had a steady job like up until season 3 and Abott Elementary is doing soo well!

[@michaelmaps2004]

So true

[@misstriciak]

Same goes for Friends. Hopefully Quinta will be able to keep the show organic, despite the early success.

[@bellaventimiglia35]

Luv “Abbot Elementary” and I luv Quinta!!! 🥰

This women is on literally cloud 9 and I am here for it

[@vincentjoyce5100]

Her SNL ep was classic.

[@lisamchugh9303]

Wow just love her and the show! As a person who grew up in Philly it’s brilliant that they got to film the season finale at the Franklin Institute. Many great field trips there as a kid!

[@King_Kunta]

For sure! Southwest native here and the Franklin institute is legendary

[@thomcrowley1043]

so great to see a person being real!!!

[@NellieKAdaba]

Yes

[@JordanNMovies]

I always thought she was one of the funniest on Black Lady Sketch Show. Glad she’s made so many moves with Abbott over the past year and a half.

[@annanims7876]

Right! I was so disappointed when she did not return to Black lady Sketch show. I felt she was an amazing character, one of the funniest! Now I she why!!! So happy and proud for her!!!!!

[@brinsonopinion]

Thrilled for her, it just doesn't get old 👏👏👏👏👏

[@d.gilliard3645]

Im usually hard on Jimmy, but Quinta is one of the stars who really brings out his best. This was good! She’s the greatest!

[@janicescott-pair97]

I'm happy for continued success. Love Abbott. 😊

[@meshzy13]

I know of Quinta from the first season of HBO's Black Lady Sketch and sooooo glad she makes it to even bigger platform! I actually missed her in season 2 (the HBO show) cause she is just that good.

[@normaexley1477]

WA WA my daughter knows I love sub sandwiches and she was living in philly so when I showed up from San Diego,Ca the first thing she did was take me to WA WA for a sandwich I loved it.....Of course we did all the tourist things as well and I had a great time. Went to Valley Forge, the Liberty Bell, Gino's, and so many other famous places. I brought quite a few subs and cheese steaks home with me on the plane and the party was on. One of my better memories.... Different breed of Kat's in philly from San Diego but they showed me a great time while I was there. Thanks Philly for the memories.....
