Quinta Brunson on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with QB Quinta Brunson

The Hang, in Short

The wildest reveal? Ash Perez casually drops that Janine from Abbott Elementary is based on her, even though Quinta didn't like Ash when they first sat next to each other at BuzzFeed. She's got receipts too, Quinta said it in Variety. Amy brings together Quinta's crew for a pre-interview: Kate Peterman (Abbott writer and college improv teammate from Temple's Fowl Play), Zach Evans (BuzzFeed alum who met Quinta as an intern in 2014), Ash, and Andrew Goautier (former head of BuzzFeed video). They roast corporate speak, reference comedian Lisa Beasley's Corporate Erin character, and Kate shares that Quinta pitched Abbott years before it happened on her apartment balcony. Ash wants to ask if Quinta would be as famous if she'd ordered a medium popcorn instead of large in her viral He Got Money video. Then Quinta arrives talking astrology, born December 21st at 11:38pm, right on the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp. Her take? Full Sagittarius, she'd be a stripper. Full Capricorn, she'd be Elon Musk.
