LOS ANGELES — Days after winning her first Emmy Award — and having her big moment seemingly spoiled by Jimmy Kimmel — Quinta Brunson showed restraint when she sat down on his show Tuesday night.
She did not, in fact, punch him in the face, as she told reporters she might do when they interviewed her backstage at the 74th Emmys on Monday night.
Rather, Brunson explained on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that she was “wrapped up in the moment and just having a good time” after winning her first Emmy for comedy writing. She said she hardly noticed Kimmel lying there on the Microsoft Theater stage, faux-drunk, where presenting partner Will Arnett had dragged him and dropped him.
