Summary

Quinta Brunson chats about how the mockumentary style of “Abbott Elementary” works, why teachers should be paid more, and creating a “no asshole” policy work environment. Ayo Edebiri discusses changing her career path from teaching to entertainment, whether her new FX series “The Bear” is a comedy or a drama, and what a standing ovation from a Nigerian dad looks like. Comedian Ali Wong talks about acting alongside Keanu Reeves in “Always Be My Maybe,” how her dad inspired her to write “Dear Girls” and the challenges women in stand-up face.
