Sheryl Lee Ralph says Jimmy Kimmel should have moved off stage while AbbottElementary creator Quinta Brunson accepted her writing honor at the Emmys
Wednesday night, and she said she expects a “good, old-fashioned time” on the show. “I’ve talked to Jimmy since,” she told reporters during a Television Critics Association session Wednesday, and whatever else happens she wants to remind viewers thatCo-star Lisa Ann Walter said she thought the bit played as funny inside the Microsoft Theater, but Ralph said she was “confused” at first, then not happy.
“I didn’t know what was going on. I was like, I wish he’d just get up off the ground,” Ralph said. “Then I realized it was Jimmy, and I was like, Ooh, the disrespect. I love Jimmy Kimmel, but I’m sorry. I told him to his face, and he understood.” The cast also said they enjoyed returning to work Tuesday following Ralph’s and Brunson’s Emmy wins — though Walter joked she “forgot how to act” after the high of Monday night.
“It was the greatest feeling in the world to get back [on set],” said Chris Perfetti, who plays Jacob. “We had a table read, and it was the perfect way to come down after that. There was nowhere else I wanted to be.” Added Tyler James Williams, who plays Gregory, “We had to celebrate with the crew, too. It’s just as much their show as it is ours.”
