Quinta Brunson (/ˈkwɪntə/; born December 21, 1989)[1] is an American actress, comedian, writer, and producer. She is best known for creating, executive producing, co-writing and starring as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues in the ABC comedy series Abbott Elementary (2021–present). Brunson gained prominence for her self-produced Instagram series Girl Who Has Never Been on a Nice Date. She went on to produce and act in videos for BuzzFeed Video, and developed two streaming series with BuzzFeed Motion Pictures.[2][3]

At the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, she became the first Black woman to be nominated three times in the comedy category,[4] receiving nominations for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series (which she won), Outstanding Comedy Series (as an executive producer), and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. At the 75th ceremony, she became the first Black woman to win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy in over 40 years.[5] Brunson was honored with a 2022 Peabody Award for her work in Abbott Elementary. She was also placed on the Time 100 Most Influential People of 2022 list.[6][7][8][9]

Brunson has acted in the series iZombie, Single Parents, and Miracle Workers; provided voice work for Lazor Wulf and Magical Girl Friendship Squad; and starred in the first season of the HBO sketch comedy series A Black Lady Sketch Show.

Early life and education

[edit]

Brunson was born and raised in West Philadelphia.[10] Her name means "fifth" in Spanish and signifies that she is the youngest of five children.[11] Her mother, Norma Jean, taught kindergarten and her father, Rick, managed parking lots. She was raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses but left the religion when she was 21.[12]

She has described herself as "obsessed" with comedy from the time she attended the Charter High School for Architecture & Design in Philadelphia,[13] and nurtured her interest by taking an improv class.[14] Brunson attended Temple University[15] and took classes at Second City in Chicago her sophomore year. She dropped out of school shortly thereafter to move to Los Angeles and pursue a career in comedy.[16][12] She received an honorary degree in Fine Arts from Temple University in 2024.[17]

Career

[edit]

2014–2017: Instagram and Buzzfeed

[edit]

Brunson originally garnered fans online by posting comedic videos to her Instagram in 2014.[18] In particular, her Girl Who Has Never Been on a Nice Date series went viral and grew her digital fan base.[18][19][20] She then worked as a video producer for BuzzFeed Video after first freelancing for the company.[21] Her videos primarily focused on problems experienced by twenty-somethings.[22]

In 2016, Brunson sold two web series as a development partner with BuzzFeed Motion Pictures:[23] one scripted comedy called Broke for Youtube Red, which she wrote, produced, and starred in;[7][24] the second, Up for Adoption, was produced by Verizon's go90 video platform, which she also starred in.[19] Brunson's performance in Broke was nominated for Best Acting in a Comedy at the Streamy Awards in 2017.[25]

2018–present: A Black Lady Sketch Show and Abbott Elementary

[edit]

Shortly after Brunson left BuzzFeed in 2018, she co-starred in her first network pilot, the CW pilot The End of the World as We Know It,[8] but the show was not picked up by the network. She also wrote and produced a series called Quinta vs. Everything that streamed on Facebook Watch from 2017 to 2018.[16][20] On October 4, 2018, it was announced that a pilot co-produced by Brunson, Larry Wilmore, and Jermaine Fowler would be developed by CBS into a multi-cam comedy called Quinta & Jermaine.[9] The pilot would star Fowler and Brunson as longtime friends who must deal with an unplanned pregnancy; however, the show was not picked up.[26]

In 2019, she appeared as Dr. Charli Collier and her twin sister, Laila, on the supernatural comedy-drama series iZombie, and also voiced multiple characters in the animated series Lazor Wulf.[27] That fall, Brunson began to co-star and write in the HBO sketch comedy series A Black Lady Sketch Show, alongside Robin Thede, Gabrielle Dennis, and Ashley Nicole Black;[28] but she left the second season due to scheduling conflicts.[29] In 2020, Brunson co-starred in the Syfy animated series Magical Girl Friendship Squad, opposite Anna Akana.[30]

In 2021, Brunson appeared in a recurring role on the third season of Miracle Workers,[31] and in June, her debut book, She Memes Well, a collection of essays about her personal life and career, was released.[32]

Brunson's single-camera pilot (previously titled Harrity Elementary, named for the school she attended, which is now a charter school[33]) was picked up by ABC with the new title Abbott Elementary in May 2021.[34][35] Brunson is also the writer, co-executive producer, and stars with Sheryl Lee Ralph, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, Tyler James Williams, and Janelle James.[31] The series premiered on December 7, 2021, and received critical acclaim.[36] As of October 2024, it holds a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 80 critics' reviews.[37] Brunson received praise for bringing a fresh approach to network television with Abbott Elementary,[38][39] named after her real-life former middle school teacher, Ms. Abbott.[40] For the show's first season she was named to Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2022.[41] In September 2022, Brunson won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing For a Comedy Series for the show, making her the first black woman to win that award solo.[42] The series received a 2023 Peabody Award.[43]

In August 2022, Brunson signed a multi-year overall deal with Warner Bros. Television, the co-production studio of Abbott Elementary.[44]

Brunson has a guest starring role on the Party Down revival series.[45] In April 2023, she made her Saturday Night Live hosting debut.[46]

In 2023, Brunson won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for playing idealistic second-grade teacher Janine Teagues on Abbott Elementary. This win made her only the second Black actress to win in this category after Isabel Sanford, who won in 1981 for her role as Louise Jefferson on The Jeffersons.[47] Also, since Ayo Edebiri won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series that same year, that was the first year that two Black actresses won the two female comedy acting categories in the Primetime Emmys.[48]

Personal life

[edit]

Brunson is married to Kevin Jay Anik. He works in California's legal-cannabis industry. They live in the San Fernando Valley.[12] She posted a photo of her engagement ring in 2020 but did not publicly confirm their marriage until she referred to Anik as her husband in her 2022 Emmys speech.[49]

She is a member of the Writers Guild of America. During the 2023 Met Gala, she gave an interview where she showed her support with the writers strike that was to start on the same night of the event.[50]

In October 2023, Brunson signed an open letter by Artists4Ceasefire, calling for an end to Israel's bombardment of Gaza.[51]
