Quinta Brunson Gets Emotional Talking About Sheryl Lee Ralph's Emmy Win

[@Rye-Ann]

Man, I'm so thrilled for her. It's like watching a friend be successful.

[@applescruff909]

Well put!

[@erinrodgersStoryCoach]

I was just about to say that! She's so great and I've been watching her stuff for years

[@shawnieBaby]

I really loved her on iZombie! She is always a highlight of my rewatches! 😇 She even plays dual roles. 🥳

[@headlikeorange3600]

Oh god, this is so weird. I've been hearing about Quinta and Buzzfeed recently and only because of your comment did it click that she is the Quinta I used to watch during university. Wow! Makes it so much more exciting! She looks so grown up!

[@batumakyeyunegodwin4254]

Yess this

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

I'm so glad Quinta's telling this story. I was so stressed out for Sheryl Lee Ralph when she won because she wasn't moving from her seat, and the producers were playing people off quickly. I definitely noticed that both Tyler and Quinta basically ushered her to the stage

[@travisdacus]

She didn't expect it that's why

[@123JWJWJW]

I know! It's great to hear the back story. Also, with understanding her history in the industry, I can totally see why she reacted the way she did.

[@shirokisasaki3233]

Sheryl was in deep shock so she probably needed time to gather herself.

[@francoisbessing]

And yet that's the moment that went viral.

[@phillipandrew932]

could u please explain her history in the industry?

[@amandalong220]

Gosh I remember her from Buzzfeed years ago! So happy to see her not only get her own show, but to get awarded for it! Way to go, Quinta!

[@kathleenuclear]

SAME! And the Try Guys mentioned her win on their podcast and also mentioned that she brought a bunch of her people from Buzzfeed with her to Abbott's writers room. I already loved her so much but hearing that made me love her sooooo much more!!

[@ta9143]

Same! I remember Quinta from Buzzfeed and it’s so satisfying to see Quinta In all the other projects she’s been part of! Congratulations

[@nigeriasimone6065]

I remember her before Buzzfeed when she did that series on IG about the girl who’s never been on a date. To think she came from a girl on IG to this is amazing!

[@sabreen45]

As a teacher Sheryl hit the nail on the head with this role. So well deserved!

[@friabarbie]

my sis is a teacher she’s actually the one who told me about the show & said it’s so accurate to regular work days at school 😂 i love this show cus it’s hilariousss

[@chinogabriel2502]

I love quinta's take on network television. Also, Sheryl's delivery of the speech when she won the Emmy was remarkable. She had the voice of an influential speaker.

[@rhonnichan]

I love that she mentioned that cable TV is more accessible, especially for those within the prison system. I love Quinta and watching her career blossom has been a joy. Abbott is funny, light hearted, fresh, and you can tell the kids on set are having fun.

[@santuli_91]

This was one of the most wholesome interviews I've watched in years! 🥺

[@IAmJustR]

They put up a billboard in Montego Bay Congratulating Ms Ralph😊

[@loveinthematrix]

Omgggggg

[@MrMarmaduke09]

Can’t wait for season 2 and so proud of Cheryl . She’s been in the industry for over 4 decades and FINALLY got the recognition she deserves!

[@Dlwinborne]

Quinta Brunson is a humble genius!😊

[@Madison4Sundae]

I loved her from the " you got money" skits and knew she was a star in the making. So proud of her love her work.

[@CatMoca]

Yes! I remember her from her He got money sketches. And then I was happy to see her on BuzzFeed. And now she is a show creator!

[@yordanoshimed9514]

Agree, that skit has lived rent free in my mind for years ❤

[@angelariebli4843]

Been LOVING the show, and Quinta is a GEM!

[@erroreden]

I’m so glad Quinta got to be on w Seth he’s always so respectful, I’m so proud of her

[@lucianocarneiroguedes7325]

I first heard from the show on Seth when she came and did the interview alongside Kid Cudi. So happy for her and everyone involved in the show.

[@123JWJWJW]

I liked what she said about the accessibility of network tv. Seeing these other great shows go to streaming platforms is sad because so many people won't be able to watch because it is just not practical on the budget to spend money for these subscriptions.

[@kingtryton]

Insane how far she came! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@veeedgee]

Never give up!

[@JPFlon]

[@urArchitect]

Congrats Quinta! Yvette Lee Bowser, Suzanne de Passe, Mara Brock Akil, Shonda Rhimes, and all other Black Women show-runners and creators laid the foundation for contemporary producers and show-runners like Quinta Brunson, Issa Rae, Robin Thede, Lena Waithe, and many others to sprint and continue to shift media while telling amazing stories.

You forgot the incredibly talented Michaela Coel.

[@Alexp36500]

She will always be our Dream Girl that's for sure. Omg and her song for the SuperBowl was incredible! And I'm beyond proud of Quinta... watching her be a "try girl" and then watching her write and have all these incredible career moments. She's just as incredible.

[@bjgx1]

She is such a joy and talent.

[@NellieKAdaba]

I agree.

[@vPeteWalker]

Man I just love her, and I love this show. Amazing amazing story. The cast is so fantastic. I can't wait for the S2 premiere!

[@auldthymer]

Ooooh! She got talent.

Hearing Quinta's retelling is so beautiful! So happy for both Quinta and Q.I.L. Sheryl Lee Ralph. 🎉🎉🎉🤗🤗🤗

[@fondue191]

Everything about the show, the cast, and her. Just perfectly wholesome and something we lack today and it’s so refreshing to see it. Love love love

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

Just saw the speech, it was magical... Congratulations to you and to Abbot Elementary, your fellow cast and crew!

[@bunnyfernwood]

Yo Seth can we get a daydrinking with Quinta?? Please sir!

[@PomSptz]

I only just started watching this show on HULU a few weeks ago. A show has to be good for me to put up with commercials these days. This is a good one! So cute and funny!

[@LittleSparrow17]

They’re all so amazing! All of them deserve an Emmy+ ! ❤

[@Meebees15]

“Do you do any drugs?” “Thank you for asking, no one asks” 😂😂😂😂

[@sandrakostic5998]

Quinta Brunson is such a wonderful breath of fresh air. She’s brilliant, creative, talented and lucky for us, she’s just getting started.

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

She deserves the Emmy, Abbott Elementary is a Great show Great cast !

[@MarcosIsABaritone]

Smart and sincere. A winning combo, if ever there was one.

[@christophertarsitano269]

She looked so good here and she so so so deserved to win. Abbott elementary deserved it

[@estrathmeyer]

Quinta is the best!!

[@corinaoliver4126]

Omg quinta! I remember a long time ago, i was enjoying her in yt now she’s in a series. Praise! ❤❤❤

[@downtomarz7835]

I'm so so proud of her! We all have seen her journey!

[@astonewithnomoss]

I love Quinta and Seth. This is an excellent duo.

[@SolOtis]

Love her so much and I’m so happy she’s getting all of the accolades. Just loving following her all over the internet and it lead to these beautiful moments.

[@Love-lz6ez]

So great to see her from Buzzfeed to now! Well deserved , so happy for this show and the cast.

[@phucdatbich7333]

I was rooting for her to win an award ever since I watched her performance on the show. She completely encapsulated the old, tired, yet wise senior teachers I encountered growing up in elementary school perfectly

[@TheShmego]

I'm over the moon that Quinta is finally getting her flowers

[@Biboche23]

Love y’all❤ so proud of Quinta 🥹

[@jennaluu2381]

i love that she thought about the incarcerated when deciding to make abbott elementary a network show

[@azharel]

I can’t watch the show when it was aired until Disney+ started streaming it few weeks ago. I binged watching it in just one weekend. Love it. They deserve the accolades for the Emmys’! Now gotta wait for a year for Disney+ starts streaming for 2nd season.

[@ladiepink]

Dangit if u a student get Hulu student discount

[@azharel]

@@ladiepink Nah.. I live in Australia. No HULU over here..

[@drakec6781]

Everyone on that cast killed it should be one for them all the principal she has me crying every time

[@shirokisasaki3233]

It's so cute to see Quinta walking out in those heels and she is still learning how to walk in sky-high shoes

[@VieenRennes]

Grinning ear to ear during this whole interview.

[@Vicious_kitty1]

Quinta has said in other interviews that her oldest brother was in prison most of her life but they would write each other letters and talk about the different shows they were watching and stay connected through things like that. I’m so glad she mentions the accessibility for ppl in the prison system. It might be there only glimpse out in the world today and she is using her platform. Love her so much 💕

[@loveinthematrix]

Quinta is next level. Amazing!

[@hj5520]

Quinta has always been funny in a unique and authentic way since buzzfeed, she stood out to me then and it’s so great to see her having her own award winning show now

[@drakec6781]

Miss Ralph 🙏🏼thanks for these great years of pure excellence so beautiful , graceful , elegant and the Genius luv it !!! Super dope!

[@lovingtennis247]

quinta looks like her soul left her body when he said 22 episodes lol.

[@gabelogan5877]

Because it's a nightmare to put 22 quality episodes on a network schedule. Everyone's used to 6-13 episodes every 1-2 years due to streaming.

[@hra2290]

I love this show, the only show I can watch with my kid, so clean and so witty!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Congratulations to Quinta and Sheryl! 👏🏽

[@porcha8478]

I feel like I’m watching my sister just WIN. I Love it 🥰

Congratulations, well deserved ,the show is recommended for everyone.👏😂

[@tonyareed5083]

LOVE Quinta. Love the show. Love Sheryl. Loved this interview. Love, love, LOVE! 🙂

[@yodoquynh5597]

they should have had abbott elementary on tv in my psyche ward because i'd been seated the whole time 😭

[@ilhuicatlamatini]

Wow, was she on the same night as John Oliver?? Cuz that’s an amazing show with both of them and Seth, and I’m jelly of the audience that got to see them all lol. What a great episode, congrats to both John & Quinta for their Emmy’s 🎉❤ love ‘em

[@Adamkalb1]

I could not be happier to see Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Quinta Brunson and Courtney Barnett in the same day. And it was the Season 10 premiere!

[@Lubbylove89]

22 episodes for the second season!! Lets go! I'm always saying what happened to full season sitcoms. 22-24 episodes used to be the norm. I'm excited for this.

[@sharonmickey4566]

I love her show!! Just watched the first season. xoxoxoxoxoxox

[@MJDavidson]

Oh this was great! What a warm rapport you guys have. Congrats QB

[@binkbaf]

Quinta is a favourite from buzzfeed in its better days. So glad she is living her dream.

[@Jaznellow]

If Quinta doesn't host SNL this season I will eat my hat

[@mundaneamazing]

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited that it's a 22-episode season! I thought it might be done already.

[@terrycrawford1476]

Abbott Elementary is the best show since Big Bang Theory! After I saw the first episode, I said they're going to be around a long time and they're going to win a lot of awards!

[@lanzi_xo]

"Do I do any drugs? Thank you for asking, no one asks!!!" 😆😆😆

[@carrieheffernan1685]

They should cast Sherri Shepherd to play her mother..

[@ricedcauli6029]

No thanks!!! 😖
