Jimmy Kimmel

He was one of the first people to see ‘Abbott Elementary.’ He was the first person to message me on Instagram.” However, things took a turn after Arnett announced that Brunson had won the Emmy for her ABC series “Abbot Elementary,” whereupon Kimmel shockingly remained on his back in front of the microphone for the duration of her speech. She added, “He was so excited it was going to be on ABC. “Jimmy couldn’t be here tonight,” Arnett, 52, joked while addressing his “passed out” co-host lying on the floor. I was happy it was Jimmy. Highly disrespectful.” At one point, Brunson even tried to rouse him by saying, “Jimmy, wake up, I won,” but the former “Man Show” host stayed put.

Brunson took to the stage to accept the award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series for her work on the hit ABC sitcom Abbott Elementary. In doing so, she ...

And I saw her pilot before it came out on ABC, and I wrote to her, and I was like, ‘I don’t know how we got this, but congratulations. I’m a huge fan of Will Arnett, so I was wrapped up in the moment.” I don’t know what the internet thinks!” “Jimmy Kimmel should have left the stage during Quinta’s speech. The gag saw Kimmel “playing dead,” laid out on the stage as Arnett read out the nominees and eventual winner. But fans took exception when Kimmel remained “dead” on the stage as Brunson came up to accept her trophy.

One Twitter user wrote that Kimmel clowning during Brunson's award win was "a metaphor for what it means to be a [woman of color] in a white man's world."

He has yet to speak about the social-media outcry. He was the first person to message me on It was one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me." The upmost disrespect!" Honestly, Jimmy gave me my first big late-night spot, and he was one of the first people to see Abbott Elementary. [Brunson ](https://www.newsweek.com/abbott-elementary-creator-quinta-brunson-overwhelmed-early-success-1677842)spoke about the incident afterwards, with the award winner stating that she wasn't mad at him.

So I was wrapped up in the moment. So I think in that moment, I was really happy it was Jimmy up there. He gave her a silent thumbs-up. Then she asked a non-responsive Kimmel to hold her phone. The premise of Kimmel’s gag involved co-presenter Will Arnett dragging Kimmel out by the legs and explaining, “He just got into the skinny margaritas back there,” and “He didn’t really want to miss this.”

Jimmy Kimmel was accused of stealing the spotlight from winner Quinta Brunson, after stretching a comedy skit beyond breaking point.

After she was done, Arnett dutifully dragged Kimmel offstage - Kimmel committed to the bit until the very end. Kimmel responded with a thumbs up, but remained on the floor, seemingly under the impression that his skit was too hilarious to stop. Arnett quipped that Kimmel had drowned his sorrows backstage due to disappointment, this being the “13th time in a row that he’s lost.”

Jimmy Kimmel owes Quinta Brunson an apology for his antics during her Emmys acceptance speech.

Kimmel then stayed on the floor throughout Brunson’s speech, right until she was played off and the show moved on to its next segment. “I felt like the bit didn’t bother me that much,” Brunson told members of the press, adding that Kimmel gave her her first late-night spot and was an early supporter of her ABC comedy. When Brunson stepped on stage to accept her award, Kimmel — who’d lain on the floor for several minutes, pretending to be comatose as part of a bit with co-presenter Will Arnett — didn’t move.

Jimmy Kimmel pretended to be passed out when announcing Quinta Brunson's win. Fans said he should have left the stage when Brunson gave her speech.

I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers; I'm a huge fan of Will Arnett, so I was wrapped up in the moment. "Jimmy gave me my first big late-night spot and was one of the first persons to see 'Abbott,'" she said. I'm gonna be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face.

The "Abbott Elementary" star continued: "I think in that moment, I was just really happy that it was Jimmy up there.

Quinta Brunson won big for "Abbott Elementary" at the Emmys, but a weird bit stole her thunder. She's still slated to appear on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

Jimmy Kimmel probably thought playing dead at the Emmy Awards on Monday night would spur some laughter. But it doesn't appear to have landed that way.

Still committing to the bit, Kimmel flashed a thumbs-up at Brunson — but remained where he was as she spoke. But Kimmel continued playing dead even after Brunson, who earned the accolade for her ABC sitcom “Abbott Elementary,” came up to deliver her speech. But the gag didn’t quite land that way.

He Instagram-messaged me that he saw this comedy and thought it was one of the greatest comedies of all time and he was so excited it was going to be on ABC. If you were watching at home, Kimmel was easier to ignore, as the camera focused on Brunson and her speech, but once the official photos started circulating online, anger grew. Kimmel committed to the bit so thoroughly that he did not budge, even as Brunson stepped over him to collect her trophy and Arnett attempted to move him out of the way. Many called Kimmel out for stealing what should have been Brunson’s moment — another instance of a white man inserting himself into a Black woman’s accomplishment — and compared it to his handling of Brunson was a good sport, giving him her phone to hold when he refused to move.

They eventually both found themselves single and after the late-night show host prepared a meal of [McNearney's favorite foods](https://people.com/food/oprah-winfrey-jimmy-kimmel-pizza/), the pair made their relationship official. "When we started dating, I would go back and forth between my place and his," McNearney continued.

During Quinta Brunson's speech at the Emmy's, Jimmy Kimmel was seen lying down on the floor beside her, and people have since called him out.

His achievement marked the first win for an Asian actor in a drama series. I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers, and I’m a huge fan of Will Arnett, so I was wrapped up in the moment. Euphoria star Zendaya also made history after winning the award for Lead Actress in a Drama Series. I’m going to be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face.

Jimmy gave me my first late-night spot and was one of the first people to see Abbott.” I want you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or feels like they are a Rue, I want you to know I’m so grateful for your stories and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her. It was the thirty-five-year-old’s first-ever Emmy win, for his work on Rothaniel. The director said in his speech: “People keep telling me that I made history, but I don’t think I made history by myself because it was you who opened up the doors for Squid Game, inviting us here tonight at the Emmys. The trophy is nice, but my emotion is for these people who are on the stage with me. The thirty-four-year-old told the audience: “I’m very emotional!

Sit in that hate if you like, but allow these kids to understand and embrace the beauty of diversity. During the Emmys broadcast Monday, we watched as Kimmel lie prone onstage, pretending to be drunk from skinny margaritas, as Brunson was honored for her writing on breakout hit "Abbott Elementary." Kimmel was playing out a bit that wasn't funny to begin with. I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers,” she said Monday night. And we can't forget about Disney's underwater fantasy "The Little Mermaid." We talk about race because racism exists in America – subtle and overt – from glitzy Hollywood productions to neighborhood Walmart stores.

The comedians posed together at Disney's Emmy after party, with Brunson proudly displaying her Emmy right in front of Kimmel's face.

“If #QuintaBrunson stepping over #JimmyKimmel who literally laid in her spotlight on the day she won an Emmy isn't a metaphor for what it means to be a WOC in a white mans world I don't know what is,” reads a viral tweet from @hebagowayed.

“I kinda consider him one of the comedy godfathers…so I was wrapped up in the moment. “At that moment, I was just really happy that it was Jimmy up there,” she added. “I know Jimmy Kimmel and I felt like the bit didn’t bother me that much,” Brunson said in the press room after her win.

On Tuesday's episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' the TV host revealed that Andrew Garfield pulled a Spider-Man at the Emmys to save his life.
