Jimmy Kimmel may have found himself under fire for his controversial joke during Quinta Brunson’s Emmys 2022 speech — but the “Abbott Elementary” star isn’t letting his antics “bother” her.
The actress, 32, poked fun at the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host’s decision to lie beside the mic as she accepted her award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series on Monday.
“Tomorrow maybe I’ll be mad at him,” she joked to members of the press backstage. “I’m going to be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face. I don’t know what happens.”
Brunson went on to call Kimmel, 54, “one of the comedy godfathers,” adding that she was “really happy” that he presented her award.
