Apologizes to , Quinta Brunson , for Emmys Gaffe.
Brunson won her first Emmy for outstanding writing in a comedy series on Sept. 12.
After she was named the
winner, Kimmel remained
"passed out" on stage,
committing to a comedy
bit he carried out
with Will Arnett. .
When Brunson appeared on Kimmel's late-night show on Sept. 14, he apologized to her and referred to the moment as a "dumb comedy bit.".
People said I stole your moment. And maybe I did, and I’m very sorry if I did do that. I’m sorry I did do that, actually. , Jimmy Kimmel, via 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
And also the last thing I would ever want to do is upset you because I think so much of you. , Jimmy Kimmel, via 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
I think you know that.
I hope you know that, Jimmy Kimmel, via 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
Brunson responded to Kimmel's apology.
Well, Jimmy, let me just say, thank you. It is very kind of you to say that. I, honestly, was in such a moment of just having a good time. , Quinta Brunson, via 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
Like, I won my first Emmy. I was up there happy and I was wrapped up in the moment and just having a good time, Quinta Brunson, via 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'.
Immediately after her win, Brunson was asked how she felt about Kimmel's behavior.
Tomorrow maybe I’ll be mad at him. I’m going to be on his show on Wednesday, so I might punch him in the face, Quinta Brunson, via CNBC.
Kimmel's show on Sept. 14 began with Brunson interrupting his opening monologue.
She joked that sometimes “you get less time (on stage) because somebody does a dumb comedy bit that goes on a bit too long.”.
I have heard of that
happening in previous years, Jimmy Kimmel, via 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'
