During Quinta Brunson's acceptance speech, presenter Jimmy Kimmel pretended to be passed out on the floor. Twitter was not amused by stunt.
ABC's hit comedy "Abbott Elementary" took home three Emmy Awards on Monday night for its first season.The 32-year-old West Philadelphia native became the first Black woman to earn three nominations in the comedy category and the youngest Black woman ever nominated for an acting award in that same category.
She's also the second Black woman in Emmy history to take home the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. Brunson based "Abbott Elementary" on her own West Philadelphia elementary school, the one where her mother Norma taught for more than 40 years. "We need more teachers," Brunson said. "They need to be paid more so that people want to become teachers. With what they are getting paid, I wouldn't want to be a teacher right now. It's an important profession that needs to be respected."Twitter was not amused by stunt, accusing the late night comedian of stealing Brunson's spotlight.
