Quinta shares how "Friends" inspired "Abbott Elementary" and Jennifer reminisces on the show's premiere 30 years ago. They discuss how to work with writers, create a stellar ensemble cast, and block out the noise from social media.

It is amazing to see Quinta raise from Buzzfeed to be peers with Jennifer Aniston. Go Queen!
it really is amazing. she's killing it.
She's from Buzzfeed? Thats kinda icky
@@triggerfish9967not really, she is OG Buzzfeed
@@triggerfish9967 Why? She worked hard to get where she is now.
Its honestly amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
Quinta gets props for saying to Jennifer, “We don’t have to go there if you don’t want to.” I get why the producers were trying to create that buzzworthy moment, but I also appreciate Quinta’s willingness to derail it for Jennifer’s sake. It’s nice to see people take care of each other like that. This was a charming pairing.
Was gonna comment the saaaame, she handled that so well.
She immediately felt protective 😢
Time stamp?
I don't think the producer was thinking about Matthew Perry at that instant. It's Jennifer Aniston the subject of Friends is gonna come up.
@@bambimelson4945 Stop it.
it's like the word "honey" was made to be said by jen aniston ❤
Omggg you caught that too! You read my mind!
Right? I remember always feeling so comforted whenever Rachel would say it on friends :)
Oh SO true! 😍
I love this comment. It is so true 🥰
She Was Thinking Of Friends Co-Star ❤. Chandler You Are Remembered.
Honestly, a cameo of Jen Aniston as a superintendent or angry parent would be AMAZING
an angry parent would be everything
An angry parent, yes! I can totally see her being the “my child wouldn’t possibly do that” or “my child deserves this special treatment” sort of parent! Or even a faculty member at Addington Elementary alongside Melissa’s sister. Or even being a substitute teacher at Abbott. But Keenan Keegan-Michael Key is perfect as the superintendent already; the way he essentially says “if it’s not free, the district isn’t interested” is, unfortunately, soooo accurate!
Substitute teacheeeer
Omg YES
She’s a bit on older side to be a parent of an elementary age kid, BUT id love to see her be a superintendent or the principal of a fancy prep school that wants to take over abbott’s location.
I'm the actor who plays the Coney Island character in The Morning Show that Quinta talks about at 3:30. I was floored that she mentioned the scene, and that Variety also included footage of me. It was such a joy to shoot... Jennifer and Jon could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The whole crew made me feel right at home and it was a fantastic experience!
Congratulations!!!
@@LaDimplez91 Thank you!
Wow! That is so cool! Thanks for sharing!
@@okoala62 👍
What a dream! I hope you continue to get more roles and opportunities in the future
When Jen said the 5 of us and then corrected herself to 6 of us omg 😭😭😭😭
Yea that got me.
😢😢😢
I think she rather said 5 first because she not calculate her self . Thats more likely.
Now this is a real actors on actors
Jen s done Actors on Actors with Lisa Kudrow and Sebastian Stan ! Both excellent
@@carolandrews9406 wait I love the one with Lisa Kudrow for the nostalgia vibes. I should watch the Sebastian Stan one next
When Jen started crying for Matthew 💔
And Quinta’s little “I know” - it was so simple but so kind and empathetic.
@@bibliophilecbThis! She acknowledged it without being overwhelming, giving Jen space to breathe and get back around. Such a fast yet beautiful moment.❤
When did she start crying?
@@mohabhoba29331:45
32:00
Every “honey” Jen says adds 5 years to my life
Same! 😭
Hear me out: Jennifer as Jacob’s mom/aunt/sister/relative visiting from out of town
I hope someone on Abbott reads this comment section bc I’m seeing some good ideas. She’s 20 years older than him, so I think mom works.
Yesss
YES!!!
OMG I literally just left this comment. Great minds think alike.💙😂
Would KILL to see her as his aunt or something
Seeing Jen be so genuinely interested in Quinta’s artistry healed something in me.
It's acting.
I vote for Jennifer Aniston to come in and be a curriculum supervisor on Abbott
I second this!!!😂😂
@@Lifeisagift5774Fr they have way too much chemistry to pass this up.
She would be so funny.
I THIRD THIS!!!!!!
Yes!!!! Need to see Jen An on Abbot asap
whoever paired these two icons together deserves a raise !! the wholesomeness and how genuine the conversation was like a breath of fresh air
Dare I say one of the best actors on actors we’ve seen in quite some time.
Anyone else think this interview is like a big warm hug for the soul? How lovely, two such incredible women ❤️
Yes, Agree 😊
100%.
Just here beaming ❤️
So good
Jen asking to be on Abbott and Quinta just saying "Okay" is precious
It's so amazing seeing a young actress, producer and writer like Quinta get to talk in depth about the job she gets to do succesfully now, with a predecessor that instilled all of that in her.
This is one if not the best Actors On Actors conversation I’ve seen. They both looked genuinely interested in each other’s work, it was clear that they took their time to inform themselves and watch each other’s show and that helped the conversation flow smoothly. AND most importantly, neither of them was self-centered, they both took the time to listen to what the other was saying.
Exactly my thoughts! The conversation were smooth, both Jen and Quinta were able to express their minds without sounding forced or bored. I mean, go watch Kim K and THE Chloe Sevigny's episode, it's just so cringey.
Quinta being in shock that she’s with Jennifer Aniston and Jenn just being so interested in Quintas work is the best thing I’ve seen today
Whoever decided to put these two together needs a raise
They shouldn’t have pushed Quinta to ask Jen about Friends, they knew what they were doing, it was insensitive, she was so empathetic and respectful, but she clearly felt bad when Jen started crying. It obviously wasn’t a good moment for them.
Jen would have known those questions were coming. They don't go into these blind. Quinta met Brad at an awards event. Off-limits
@@carolandrews9406 Still. It was an insensitive question and both of them were upset about it. They were having such a nice conversation and then the producers decided to do that knowing that it was a sensitive topic for Jen and it probably would make her emotional/uncomfortable, even Quinta looked uncomfortable that they put her in that position and didn't want to ask her that, but she handled it well because she's empathetic and unlike the producers she wasn't looking for that reaction to get clicks.
It would have been bizarre if she hadn’t asked.
I completely agree, it was not necessary at all to do that
@@michellecena8159true but they should’ve asked both beforehand and let it come naturally. It really felt like they just rudely butted in to an otherwise beautiful dialogue.
The way Quinta took care of Jennifer when they brought up Friends, such kindness and respect.
Quinta went from: He got Monaaaay to She got money!!! 💰
It’s telling of Quinta’s empathy that she knew not to ask that question before she was prodded to. You can tell she has such an emotional intelligence.
To see Jennifer start crying just the mention of friends made me cry. Love her so much!
"all five of us, all six of us" 😭😭🥺❤️
The producers tried to create a "gotcha" moment, and Quinta handled it beautifully. I love to see how much the Friends' cast loves each other. Love to JA and MP.
Grief is the price we pay for love so feel it whenever it shows up. You are both amazing
Beautifully said❤
Quinta is so real she said I used to watch that on repeat while smoking my bong I cantttttt.
Makes me wanna do the same right now! 😂
Quinta is EVERYTHING. I hope she realizes people view her the way she views Jennifer Aniston
Aww Jennifer was so engaged. I love this conversation.
I love the way Jen said “I’d love to come play with you” regarding starring on Abbott- it seems so small & silly but it really speaks to how they view their jobs & the absolute love & admiration they have for it.
Jennifer Aniston is such a decent, kind person. Top of her game for decades and still totally grounded. When she speaks, you can tell it’s people and friendships that she treasures above all in life. Inspiring. ❤
Quinta is slightly older than me but I feel like a proud mama seeing how far she’s come. She deserves all the success she has and more 🥹👏
This queen of sitcom torch passing is the coolest thing I have ever seen-Jenn having endless questions for Quinta? Heart HAPPY
jen is so caring and sensitive, it's really beautiful.. also love how empathic and great quinta handled them wanting her to ask jen the question abt matthew (friends)
Quinta wardrobe, outfit, is amazing so powerful. It represents her position as a show runner. She is flawless
Quinta genuinely LOVES this woman! You can see it. I love that she also took care of Jen when they brought up “them”, that was when i knew.
Quinta is such an inspiration. Talk about making it off of hard work and persistence 👑👸🏾👑👸🏾❤️
Their chemistry is such a breath of fresh air. I loved watching them gush over each other ❤
Inspired by Quinta carrying the torch for network television, and there's something so powerful about harnessing nostalgia and learning from your heroes and being able to give flowers in person. And the love that she shows to her cast and crew! Exceptional, of course no one wants to leave the show and even someone as legendary as Jennifer Aniston wants to be on it. Love to see it
Her thinking about Matthew Perry 🥺🥺😭
This was an excellent conversation with two highly empathetic and self-aware lead actresses at the top of their game. They are talented as they are lovely, as they are thoughtful, as they are beautiful. Loved every moment. They are so magnetic, knowledgeable and personable.
Jennifer Aniston on Abbott? YES PLEASE! Quinta Brunson and Jennifer Aniston starring on a new sitcom together? YES!!! YES PLEASE!!!
love whoever paired these ICONS together
I started crying at the mention of friends, just to watch Jennifer start crying. I adore her so much!
This interview just made me loveeeee Jennifer Anniston. She such a girl’s girl, super warm and welcoming. Quinta is well spoken and an absolute delight! Her soul is sweet and humble. Love them both!
They’re both ‘well spoken’
Just wow, these two women are incredible. What beautiful, intelligent and funny souls. THIS is women supporting women!
The woman off camera @ 31:46 who urged Quinta to ask Jen about Friends now should take a good, long look at herself in the mirror and ask herself why she thought that question was necessary. She knew exactly what kind of reaction that would elicit and Quinta deserves all the praise for how she handled that.
But also, it is the 30th year anniversary of the show's premiere. It would've been weird for her not to ask.
I think Jen is incredibly kind and compassionate, and I really like how Quinta handled their request for her to ask Jen the question regarding Matthew (friends).
to be fair, it’s likely she was also asked to ask that of quinta.
It's fantastic to witness Quinta Brunson at this point in her career. Such an impressive voice and vision. May her career be long and fruitful.
It's great to see Aniston's growth and development in this medium.
Quinta is so cute and genuine. It's heart warming. I also love how Jennifer Aniston is engaging with her. It feels like a healthy mentorship and back and forth.
Please make sure Quinta gets a talk show because this is exactly what we need. Thanks love you ❤ from CO!
i so wish that they didn't ask jennifer that question, but media will be media. i loved the way that quinta held space for her and the light jokes they made for each other after that. i didn't know that they had such a wonderful relationship and i'm glad we got almost 40 minutes of it here.
What I most enjoy about this one is: both are generous as people and eager to compliment and listen to the other. Also, they are talking about the business and the craft.
I LOVE Quinta sitting in her power and using it in that moment to PROTECT her “elder” and a person who broke ground for her in the industry. You see how she accomplished so much so quickly. She knows the production of this interview needs her and Jen more than the other way around, and they can do the interview on their terms at all times, and she uses that to create space for someone to be a human with a body existing and feeling. Love it. ❤
I agree.
i knew this would be a good pairing but i had no idea how attached to jennifer’s work quinta was, what a cool thing to watch 🥺
love this duo SO MUCH!
Quinta was so amazing for looking out for Jen when asked about Matthew… grief is no joke. It boils over so fast, I know just what went through Jen’s body when asked that, it’s literally a physical reaction. It really hits you like a tidal wave.. she handled that so well, I wanted to give her a hug 🥺♥️
It’s just a little over 6 months ago too so it’s fresh still. I can even start crying about it watching interviews like this and I didn’t know him personally, so very understandable. Glad she handled the tears respectfully and didn’t push
Pure class. Sophistication and kindness combined.
Jennifer on abott as a substitute teacher from a well of district would be so good
The level of engagement, respect and understanding they shared and bounced off one another is so beautiful. You can tell how much they admire one another and respect the differences/ similarities, in their craft throughout their respective generations, yet still come back to the same way of seeing things. Great edifying back and forth.
Quinta is really a new voice of my generation who masters it all.
Love em both❤
Ps: lets all cross fingers for a Jen Cameo on Abbott 😂🥹
I didn’t know Quinta before, so I watched this Interview just bc of Jennifer Aniston (cause I’m a huge fan) but I have to tell I just love them together, they definitely have a connection. And Quinta is so kind especially when they wanted her to ask Jen about friends and she started to cry, Quinta took such good care of her. Two very kind, sweet and nice actresses I gotta say
If you haven’t, you should definitely watch abbot elementary!!
Same, also never heard of Quinta. She seems lovely.
When she said all 5 of us.. all 6 I started crying I love Jen and friends❤
Love you Matty rest easy❤❤
I am obsessed with Quinta’s dress! 😭 I want it!
This was such a great conversation; loved this from start to finish 🥹
Jennifer Aniston appeals to ppl of all races. I grew a black girl from the bx in the projects and was a huge fan of the character Rachel. Now Im a teacher and a huge fan of Quinta's character Janine Tegues. This is a full circle interview. Love you both ❤❤#friendsinmyhead
What a breath of fresh air! It's such a calming and genuine conversation between two amazing people 👏!
Jen is one of the kindest and most loving people in the world. We love you queen, you are a true inspiration! ❤
jen and quinta are a fabulous match, i LOVED that you can tell both of them has real love for comedy and deep curiosity and appreciation for each others' work. both being inspired by older sitcoms, being able to appreciate the work made by crew whose work often goes unseen by us regular folk, recognizing the importance of tone, heart, from the overarching themes to even the most minute details. tbh jen is not the most eloquent speaker on interviews but this pairing really brought a lot of insight out of her, it's really great to see. and obviously quinta is just major, she has done the work! lovely interview and a must watch for real comedy heads
Jennifer is my favorite actress. The Good Girl, Derailed, Just Go with It, RockStar, Marley & Me, We’re the Millers, Bruce Almighty, Cake, The Break Up and of course FRIENDS are her greatest projects. I need this woman to win an Oscar one day!
She was wonderfully vulnerable and captivating in the film, Friends With Money.
She should've been nominated for her dramatic performance in 'Cake.'
@@sw9618 Yes, She didnt get enough recognition for Cake. Excellent performance. She was so good she made me forget it was her. Not an easy thing to do.
I was surprised that her character in Cake didn't get nominated for anything.
She was also great in Office Space!
Listening to how Quinta grew up with all things comedy says a lot about how she was destined to do Abbott. She was able to pull off all the tactics/techniques from the comedies of the past, but the rapid-fire punchlines are what keeps me coming back for more of Abbott. Plus it's a mockumentary format is what makes it more immersive and amplifies the hilarity of the dialogues. What stood out for me in this chat is how Quinta adores Jen so much to the point that she can recite Jen's entire acting catalog for days. Such a sweetie. And damn - Jen on Abbott? Bring it.
Quinta is a phenomenal human being… empathetic and grounded she brings out the best in every situation… and everyone she interacts with … Two beautiful souls right there !
I love Jennifer Aniston so much! Not only is she beautiful, but she's so warm and engaging. She always seems genuinely interested in other humans during this and all her interviews. Like she seems like she could be your best friend, even though she's way out of anyone's league! She has such a big heart, and I love that she cries so easily (even though obviously I don't want her to cry.) She wears her amazing heart on her sleeve. She's absolutely BEAUTIFUL inside and out!
Absolutely agree! I love her ❤
How could you not love her??💓💓💓💞
@@-fz1yg Right??!!!
What a great collaboration. Love both ladies.
This was an amazing interview and pairing. The way Quinta handled Jennifer with such care when she got teary about Friends. She is such a brilliant person. Love them both!
I think Jen is incredibly kind and compassionate, and I really like how Quinta handled their request for her to ask Jen the question regarding Matthew (friends).
Given Jen s body of work and experience in the industry, kudos to her for having Quinta tell her story and her processes. Riveting conversation, ladies ! Bravo Jen and Quinta and thank you 👏👏❤️
So proud of Quinta and how far she's come. This girl was on BUZZFEED y'all, and now she's HEAH. Well done, girl. Well done.
She looks amazing too
I'm so proud of her and inspired as a black girl.
Quinta's makeup is flawless. she is absolutely stunning.
This is definitely one of my favourite actors and actors ever. The amount of respect, admiration and kindness that Quinta and Jennifer showed each other was just so lovely to witness. It would be amazing to see them on screen together in the future!
Quinta baby girl 🤎 you are on something with those long sleeves, I want that 💐
I love that Quinta said Friends is like watching a play, people think the show is still popular because of the jokes but it is still popular because of the writing and the rythm actually
I just finished The Morning Show, Jennifer makes everyone shine, well done!!
I’m so glad to see Quinta where she’s at. I’ve been following her since she first started making videos with Buzzfeed & I often times only watched their videos for HER. She is such an awesome, powerful, beautiful, & compassionate soul & she deserves ALL the best things. She’s one of the very few celebrities I feel *genuinely* deserve where they’re at.
Jen is great too & I’ve loved watching her grow in her career & in herself. She’s a beautiful woman & while she can be a bit out of touch sometimes, she’s remained relatively grounded considering how long she’s been in the industry & everything she’s been through.
Jennifer is so beautiful. She has such a striking appearance that’s breathtaking every time she’s on screen. And Quinta is absolutely lovely inside and out. She’s so pretty in a way that makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside
Seeing Quinta makes me cry I’m just so proud of her 😩
Same.
Jen: “days of your”
In my head: “MY APOTHECARY TABLE”
Many thanks to Quinta, Jennifer, Variety and everyone involved with the production of ACTORS ON ACTORS. 🎙
"The phones..the socials... the medias..." Quinta is hilarious!
Both incredddibly talented. Like wildly so. Both leave me stunned with how thoughtful and so different from the characters they portray. In awe.
8:59 Jen’s Lisa Kudrow impersonation is spot on lmao
Quinta is remarkable. I could listen to her speak and interview for hours. She allows space for the other party to explain, but also ensures they feel heard and comfortable enough to open up. I adore this woman. Both of these women!!!!
Quinta’s dress is fantastic. Good lord. ❤
NO ONE utters the word “honey” like Jen Aniston 🥹
Quinta has come so far and I love how Jennifer listened to her and let her spoke ❤
Jennifer is such a beautiful human inside and out 💗
this was so beautiful and authentic. Jennifer just has such a soulful but playful vibe to her while Quinta complements her with a very comforting and poised attitude. I love.
Quinta is an inspiration.❤❤❤
They are both so full of love and sensitivity. I just love them! God bless!❤❤
I wish I could fully express how joyful this was to watch. ❤
I'm also a showrunner, one year older than Quinta, and this was one of the most beautiful interviews to watch. You can see these ladies truly respect each others craft and you can almost see them containing their excitement for each other. I hope they collaborate and do a multi camera comedy show. It would bring more jobs to the industry and make many crew members happy I'm sure. God speed Quinta and Jennifer.
Do you need people for a show? I'm right here.... Just saying.
when she said 5 of us then changes it to 6 of us...... we knew what you meant. love you Jenn!!! this was amazing to watch love Quinta as well :'/
My Philly girl and my forever girl!!! Without a doubt one of the best interviews!!!Just a joy watching these two talents have a conversation!!!❤❤❤
