LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Abbott Elementary” creator-star Quinta Brunson went on Jimmy Kimmel’s show two days after the comedian drew ire for pretending to lie drunk on the Emmys stage while she collected an award. Kimmel apologized and ceded the stage so Brunson could deliver a longer acceptance speech than the 45 second one she was allotted on Monday. Kimmel had been dragged onstage by co-presenter Will Arnett, who claimed Kimmel had too much to drink. When Brunson won the best comedy writing Emmy, Kimmel didn’t stand up. He was blasted online as being rude at the minimum for overshadowing Brunson’s Emmy moment. “Abbott Elementary” returns for its second season Sept. 21 on ABC.
