Brunson said the bit didn’t bother her much as she spoke to press backstage after her win.
“I kind of consider him one of the comedy godfathers.
I’m a huge fan of Will Arnett.
So I was wrapped up in the moment.”
Others were not so accepting.

I was like, ‘I wish that man would just get up off of the ground.’
But that’s just me…
I told him, too!
And he understood.”
After interrupting his monologue, Brunson sat down with Kimmel for an interview to address the situation.
“That was a dumb comedy bit.
We thought that would be funny.
“And then people got upset.
They said I stole your moment and maybe I did.

“Well, Jimmy, let me just say thank you.
It is very kind of you to say that.”
