extended bit continued during her Emmys acceptance speech for “Abbot Elementary” — though co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph viewed it as “disrespect.”“I’m anticipating that we are going to have a good old-fashioned time,” Brunson — who is set to tape her appearance on Kimmel’s show later Wednesday — said during “Abbott Elementary’s” virtual panel for ABC’s presentation at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. “I have talked with Jimmy since.

And I think, no matter what, it’s important to just showcase that ‘Abbott Elementary’ is premiering next week, so that I will be doing.

I think it’s going to be a good time and you’ll probably just have to tune in and watch.”However, Brunson’s co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph, also a newly minted Emmy winner for her supporting role on the show, did not see the incident as such, calling it a sign of “disrespect.” Ralph said, “I was absolutely confused.

I didn’t know what was going on. But I was like, ‘I wish that man would just get up off of the ground.’ And then I realized it was Jimmy Kimmel, and then I was just, ‘Ooh, the disrespect, Jimmy!’ But that’s just me, sorry.
