Summary

Trevor is joined by Emmy-winner Quinta Brunson, the star and creator of the hit series Abbott Elementary. Quinta describes her hometown Philly's influence on her comedy, why stand-up just wasn’t for her, and the visit to her mom’s school that was the creative catalyst for Abbott Elementary. She and Trevor discuss how Spike Lee’s Crooklyn’s and Apple’s Photo Booth helped foster her belief in the spiritual power of a stupid comedy. Learn more about your ad choices.
