Emmys 2022: Quinta Brunson says she might 'punch' Jimmy Kimmel

A lot happens every year behind the Emmys stage. As the winners are ushered back after their acceptance speeches, they are swamped by questions about upcoming projects. Similarly, even the winners use this time wisely to get ahead, like how Quinta Brunson took the opportunity to clear things up with Jimmy Kimmel. From jokes to news, here are the highlights from Emmy backstage conversations:

Quinta Brunson might have to 'punch' Jimmy Kimmel.

A moment that might have lasted a little bit too long very nearly overshadowed Brunson's fantastic night at the Emmys. After appearing to be intoxicated on thin margaritas, Arnett dragged Kimmel to the stage, where he lay as Brunson had to manoeuvre around him. Twitter reacted, criticising Kimmel for highlighting Brunson's first Emmy victory.

Brunson stated, "The bit didn't affect me that much. I don't know what the internet thinks." She said that Kimmel was an early and ardent supporter of her programme and that it was her first significant late-night interview. I kind of consider Jimmy one of the comedy godfathers, so at the time, she said, "I was just very delighted that he was up there. I don't know. Tomorrow, maybe I'll be upset with Jimmy. I'm going to be on the programme on Wednesday so I could hit him in the face."

Sheryl Lee teared up talking about her dream.

She got the best supporting comedic actress award for ABC's Abbott Elementary.
After she arrived backstage, the actress mentioned how she used to watch everything as a dream when she was five years old. She mentioned how her childhood self used to say that she was going to Hollywood to become a star and would drive a Mustang.
