[@JrocDaBx]

She came a long way… very happy for her success

[@AwesomeBlackDude]

Quinta Brunson is my space jam. 😅

[@tinamarie8061]

“My Christian Black self said no!”’😂😂😂😂😂

[@crl5105]

My Christian black self agrees with her lol

[@amaannanji3113]

Quinta is such a good story teller. I felt like I was there with her

[@Qetsia]

Definitely agree

[@last7509]

shes awesome. i want one

[@Qetsia]

@@last7509 💀💀

[@joannaalday]

I love how she said “I promise the story is ending soon” and I’m over here like…. Noooo keep going. 😂

[@rugr82day]

Quinta sounds like she was holding back from saying Blane was communing with a demon. 👹 😆😆😆

[@issiewizzie]

I'll pray for her ...lol

[@LadyK007]

😂😂😂

[@marisgoldenhour6212]

Yup, no doubt!! 😆😆

[@wolee03]

😂

[@katiemurphy6845]

Abbott Elementary is fantastic and Quinta is so funny 😁

[@loveforeignaccents]

I finally looked her up. I saw her on another video and couldn't place where she seemed so familiar to me from. Lo and behold, she used to appear on a ton of YT BuzzFeed videos. Good for her for furthering her career!

[@kdfkdf1711]

Ohhhh, Cool! I thought i had seen her on tv before abbott. But it was buzzfeed. Neat.

[@JaySpoonn]

She started before Buzzfeed doing her own CZcams Videos "Oooh you got money":

[@madelynnchase4231]

She was also in season 1 of Black Lady Sketch Show and it's incredible

[@briannarenni]

Oh some of us have been here since the Buzzfeed days, we are VERY proud

[@RedisNotaFlavor]

Quinta is so naturally funny. 😂😂

[@AngeliqueFelice]

Imagine if Quinta opened David Blaine's wallet and said, "Oh you got MONEYYYYY!"

[@JaySpoonn]

LOL I hope I'm not the only one who gets this Joke lol 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marcheitacrawford8766]

🤣🤣🤣

[@candikane30]

Aaahhaa🤣😫

[@latresemilton6729]

LOVE the head to toe 90s look Quinta! So proud of her!

[@theBeatsbyj]

She deserves to get paid for promoting his show lmao so funny

[@fletcher447]

she's so charismatic and beautiful! can't wait so see her in more

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

What makes Quinta's story even funnier to me is her former show, A Black Lady Sketch Show, just did a sketch called "Track Girl Magic"

[@sandraaviles-wilkes7036]

I thought the sketch was funny as hell, but never imagined it being true.

[@last7509]

7:04 this lady hasnt aged a day. wow. forget david, what witchcraft is this?

[@Kate-nv4ow]

😂😂 that skit was legit creepy!

[@betteheadbettehead4800]

OMG! I thought she was familiar!!!! Thank you!!

[@LeeDavenport]

Right 😂. I thought she would shout-out A Black Lady Sketch Show b/c this was spot on with that sketch 😅

[@Denis-89]

I remember her BuzzFeed days, one of the reasons I subscribed to them. The videos she and Justin did together were always the best. Kinda miss those days when BuzzFeed had fun content..
But nice seeing her getting this far, wish her the best!

[@joshufo9959]

Yes that was the golden age of Buzzfeed

[@nikthegator8522]

Justin Tan writes on Abbott Elementary so it's kind of like they got the band back together.

[@Madrespect]

@@nikthegator8522 What?!? That's awesome!!! I love it.

[@banx757]

I remember he did that trick for Harrison Ford at Ford's house and Ford said "Get the fuck out".

[@yutterh9153]

I really want to see that now hahaha

[@thekpmckay]

@@yutterh9153 It's on CZcams... The whole thing is hilarious.

[@hughw2377]

I remember when she started out on buzz feed CZcams, now she's making TV shows, so happy for her!

[@ManJamLyn27]

The way Jimmy says elemenTary trips me up. lol

[@NellieKAdaba]

😆

[@msesocialite]

Love you Quinta!! 💜 Abbott Elementary is hilarious!

[@abbysomnia624]

I loved this interview so much. She's such a treasure

[@BlueyMcPhluey]

not Jimmy pretending he doesn't know every beat of this story while having props to accompany it 😭

[@25thSouth]

I smiled through that whole story, but lost it when Jimmy said Elementary like a damn fool. He pronounced the T ya'll!!! 😆

[@jayj7340]

I’m so glad people feel about her the way we felt about her on buzzfeed. She looks like such a natural!

[@4HisGlory08]

Quinta is an awesome comedian, writer… so happy to see her

[@senddeee1451]

I used to watch Quinta wayyyyyy back…. She’s killing it and I love her

[@NatoJacobs]

im mad the orlando magic joke didn't get a better laugh

[@AuliaRasyid]

From Buzffeed to here, shes a legend and she deserves it!!

[@Vizenzo187]

She prayed Jesus would free her from his magic 😂

[@NellieKAdaba]

👍🏿

[@alaskawashington]

brooo this is so wild I remember her from buzzfeed during the one era of buzzfeed I actually watched lol

[@BreeZy915]

I use to love Quinta on Buzzfeed and now I love that she’s done so well for herself and love watching her show!

[@rubylioness727]

It’s an awesome show! I love it! Look forward to the new episodes each week. Can’t wait for the next season! I love that it’s about the teachers experiences in public schools and the kids and just everything!

[@sierra4766]

I know from this story, Quinta used to watch those David Blaine stalking us CZcams skits🤣🤣

[@mariepanimdim4303]

I love and am addicted to Abbot Elementary, it's just so funny and all the characters incl. kids are so awesome and real. I hope it goes for many many seasons, Congrats to you Quinta and I don't like magic either.

[@dennistmennace]

Same!! It’s so good. All of the characters are great and fun to watch!

[@kishacallwood4017]

Abbott Elementary makes me laugh, the way The Cosby Show makes me laugh, the way Sanford & Son’s makes me laugh, the way Good Times makes me laugh, the way The Jefferson’s makes me laugh, and the way All in the Family makes me laugh.

[@lissettea4641]

Love her in Abbott! Can't wait to see season 2!

[@rantsandfaves]

So happy for her she is so talented, serving Angelica's Mom vibes

[@Elkator]

I bet they cut out Quinta calling out Jimmy for how he pronounces "elementary"

[@cwcollins06]

Somebody needs to. lol

[@tae7x]

This is one of the funniest stories I've heard on late night. She's truly a great story teller lol

[@nickhughes4800]

I love that show Abbott Elementary. She is so good in it.

[@cloudburstt]

This show is ADDICTIVE and so GOOOD. Quinta has outdone herself man.

[@thesmileyeffect]

Always so proud to see Quinta promoting this wonderful show!

[@Think4yourself8000]

I love Quinta Brunson now. Thank you!

[@marisgoldenhour6212]

I guess there's a new pronunciation for elementary now. 🤔 Love Quinta and all her success! And I'd react the same around David Blaine. He can keep his voodoo to himself. 🙅🏾‍♀️

[@cablecoshow]

[@EthanLong]

lol reminds me of the harrison ford video where he slowly turns to David blaine and goes "....you get the F out of my house...!"

[@cs5384]

The show is really cute. I enjoy the energy between the actors.

[@paperbagproductions103]

she has tape on the bottom of her ring...this woman must be my cousin!! lol

[@mauriciogonzalez6047]

Jimmy Fallon says elementary like its 3 separate words.

[@Cooliganify]

When I first saw a preview of the series I thought, “she looks like the ‘he got money’ lady” only to find out that is actually her. Wow. Show is hilarity, and glad it was renewed!

[@josuecarlosjimenez]

I hope some magic appears at the Emmys this year and Abbott Elementary wins some Emmys!

[@terracottaneemtree6697]

Omg ❤ 😲 😱

[@franciscop.9745]

That would be some wicked s*** wow how does someone change picture on phone. Mind blown

[@BloopinDaThird]

From Vine “ Ohh 😲 he got money 💵!!!!!”

[@malaventurados8201]

this is the first time an interview has shown like one of the funnier clips

[@ms.g.]

♥️🌹

[@frozenrose84]

I think she would feel better, if she's watch someone exposing Magician's tricks :)

[@adamostrowski8925]

This is a trick, not a VooDoo Girl... don't be afraid :)

[@willtheman4]

Love the show and her! But why is Jimmy saying elementary like that?😂

[@janaenae1338]

Jimmy.......sometimes we can control our lives and other times we get trapped into quicksand and we just sink further and further

[@frozenrose84]

Bott Elementary seems funny :D

[@adamostrowski8925]

Hahaha Poor girl...

[@reneishabrooks5187]

She is hilarious to me.

[@AFCompany]

She got money!

[@real_randy]

Blaine magic'ed her without her consent!

[@MissLexi920]

I never trusted David Blaine either!

[@benhenderson8952]

Gymnastic build

[@kathyrnec1]

She has strong roots in being raised a Jehovah's Witness. She still looks at God's word the Bible. 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💖
