Quinta Brunson on the Overnight Success of AbbottElementary
to get so popular so fast. Based on her own grade school years, the workplace mockumentary follows a group of teachers in an underfunded public school, treating a heavy subject with lightness and joy in episodes chock-full of mile-a-minute jokes and West Philly references. Beloved both on social media and the airwaves, it became the first ABC show toThe swift support, Brunson admits, was a bit unexpected.
Through the turns to camera to break the fourth wall it really does feel like you're in it with them. It's so cool to see all the West Philly references. Is it just so much fun to include so many details from your hometown in the show? Has there been a joke that people haven't caught yet on Twitter that you really enjoyed putting in the show?
Mm-hmm. We enjoyed doing that, and I enjoyed doing that with my comedy personally, because when I go to Philly or when I go to my mom's school, the teachers there know that shit is bad. They know what it is. What they're doing is making the best out of their days and getting to the next day and making life feel good for these kids.
I love playing, like, grounded characters who are closer to real-life people, and I think Janine is that. She's a lot more optimistic than me, which is also fun, 'cause it really feels like I'm not playing myself. She's a whole different bag of energy. As far as like, with Ava, I just always saw someone like Janelle [James]. I never saw that role for myself at all. I knew that that was going to be someone else who was fully capable of that character that I had dreamt up.
