The 'Abbott Elementary' star and creator also joked that her show is like 'Friends' except 'instead of not having Black people, it does.'
,” the actress continued, “except instead of being about a group of friends, it’s about a group of teachers, and instead of New York, it’s in Philadelphia, and instead of not having Black people, it does.”
Brunson explained that creating a show about teachers has been special for her because her mom was a teacher in Philadelphia. She also shared that she wished people didn’t expect her to be like Janine, her character in the show. “Janine Teague is a caring second grade teacher, who’s good and wholesome, but I’m the opposite,” she joked. “I mean, I’m not a filthy whore, but I like to have fun. I need to be able to live my life without someone recording me going, ‘Damn, Miss Teague is out here getting wasted at Universal Studios.'”
She then segued into a more serious note and called for people to remember how important teachers are. “Acknowledge the work they do every day,” Brunson said. “And for the love of God, pay them the money they deserve.”
