Brunson told Kimmel that what she remembers most about that moment was her joy, not lying on the floor while she was receiving the award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
“Well, Jimmy, let me thank you. That’s very kind of you to say,” he said. “Honestly, I’m at the point where I’m just having fun. For example, I won my first Emmy. I was happy there, immersed in that moment and enjoyed it.”
