Quinta Brunson, creator and star of ABC's smash sitcom 'Abbott Elementary', made her 'SNL' debut on Saturday.
“It’s like ‘Friends,’ except instead of it being about a group of friends, it’s about a group of teachers. Instead of New York, it’s Philadelphia. And instead of not having Black people, it does!” Brunson said.
joked that the downside of playing idealistic second-grade teacher Janine Teagues is that people expect her to act like her “good and wholesome” character all the time.“I’m the opposite,” Brunson said. “I’m not a filthy whore, but I need to live my life without someone recording me going, ‘Damn, Miss Teagues is out here getting wasted at Universal Studios.’ ”
Brunson, 33, shared that because of her increasing visibility, she often can’t tell her mom, former kindergarten teacher Norma Jean Brunson, about her new circle of friends. “I told her I was going out to dinner, but not who, because it was with this guy,” Brunson said, as a video of her with former President Barack Obama popped up.
