Jimmy Kimmel Lying Onstage During Quinta Brunson’s  Speech

Quinta Brunson took to the stage to accept her award, but one person was standing — or should we say, lying — in her way: Jimmy Kimmel.

Quinta Brunson won her first Emmy last night for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for Abbott Elementary.

It wasn't until after she left the stage that Quinta expressed how she felt about Jimmy's stunt.
