Ava is one of the funniest TV characters of recent years. Janelle is brilliant, her comedic timing and line delivery - impeccable. I hope she gets a lot more awesome roles in her career

I love how she gave herself an A throughout! It's true, Ava is one of the best dressed characters!

janelle’s laughter is so contagious and iconic

She gave herself all A's, a true alpha

Her reaction to Janine's outfit is so on point for her character in the show lmao

Did she end off with the words "Janelle'd it"? Because if so I love her even more 😂😂😂

I had no idea this was her first real acting role. She is amazing and holds her own so well around her seasoned coworkers

Man I FELT that sigh when Janine came on screen 😂😂

All of Ava's clothing is an A+. She always eats in whatever she has on. Janelle is so talented in how she was able to bring Ava to life.

It’s fun watching a new celeb become more and more relaxed and self-assured as they get accustomed to doing press. Ms. James gets more insightful and honest with each interview. And she can’t help but to be funny!

“Janine is a treat for the eyeballs” 😂

Ava is the most entertaining antagonist in a very long time. The casting on this show is amazing. Everyone is perfect.

how she talks about her own body with such ease and so gently / w such love is my favourite part about this !

Of course the storm costume was iconic but her in that damned white fur coat with the orange dress, talking about I don't talk line... 😫😫 Ughhh I was not mentally ready for that moment!! Loved it!!

I love me some Janelle James. There’s not been a break out character on an ensemble comedy like Ava since Sue on “Glee”! Every time she’s on screen she steals every scene. Her comedic timing is impeccable. Next season give her ALL the awards! 🤗

I love that she referenced her version of storm being the most accurate in live action form. The girlies that get it, get it! I see you sis. You were verrrry accurate! haha

You better not say you don't have a model's build! You are gorgeous, funny, quick with perfect comedic timing. Every time Ava enters the room my mind is blown. The outfits are perfection and she commands that space!

the blue dress w the gold chains was S-tier styling. easily my favorite fit from anyone throughout both seasons

Its crazy how this is her first real role .She plays it perfectly so funny and talented.

lmao the sigh when she saw janine's outfit

I never thought I'd love a character like Ava because I'm all about peace, kindness and love, but somehow, even though Ava says some things that are totally "out there" for lack of a better expression, she still makes you fall in love with her because of her crazy, fun personality. Quinta did an amazing job with creating Janelle's character and Janelle is the perfect actress to bring Ava to life!

Janelle trying to find compliments for janine's outfits😂

Ava giving herself straight A's is so on character 😂 LOL Seriously though she does so well with this role! It's chaotic & entertaining AF 😊

She's perfect as Ava. Always has the funniest lines

"I don't speak line" was crazy 😂😂

Janelle is an introvert playing an extrovert lol

Janelle is TOOO FRIGGIN' funny in this role. Her outfits carry her through as well. Who would even expect their school principal would come in costume along with their staff for Halloween.

The entire cast of Abbott Elementary are truly outstanding in every way, but Janelle's fantastic portrayal of Ava is a delight to behold.

Janelle as Ava is the epitome of excellent casting.

when she says "i have this body for a long time, i know how to dress myself" this is goals

Janelle's comic timing steals every scene she is in, not sure if she's a more horrible boss than Michael Scott but she's more loveable for surr

Rich-Maroon hair, plain black dress, bronze-shimmering skin, simple black eyeliner, metallic silver nails, curvaceous body, charisma-oozing Libra personality, quick witted mind and the cherry on top the subtle yet risqué *SENSE OF HUMOR* ... #JanelleJames ⭐️ From #Gemini with platonic love 😂😌💋

I hope she gets an Emmy next award season

LOVE the life Janelle breathes into Ava's character - fav Abbott character and that's hard with such a talented cast that always brings it. LOVE that she gave some background info on Storm's costume & shared the comparison between the two (Marvel nerd, here). Janelle/Ava are such a comfort to have in life right now

Can't wait for Janelle James to win her emmy

What a QUEEN. Love this woman, wishing all the success in the world to her, just looking at her face makes me happy ❤

Janelle with the X-Men Facts!!! MY HEART! 💘

That red santa suit KILLED. I saw it live and immediately started searching for it online. Flawless!

6:19 “I believe i was eating a lemon tart when they called my name” LOL

She did Storm justice ❤

Her giggle is precious! 🤗

I smiled this entire interview ❤ I love Ava’s looks every episode so I love that someone else’s sees what I see

"That's Ava being nice..." lol We love you Janelle! Thanks for keeping us laughin waiting on your Emmy next, Sis!

i had a good laugh watching her. the way she roasts everybody, especially janine , a total unapologetic iconic queen

That Storm outfit was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'd not previously heard of Janelle before Abbott, but she's funny and beautiful and I'm glad she's had this opportunity to shine. Quinta is very talented and has put together a wonderful show.

They have to add Janelle’d it! To a scene if they haven’t already 😂

Ava is hands down such a genius, lovable character and Janelle plays her soo soo right, even though as a person is so different. I hope Janelle goes on to continue her career. She is very much capable of playing all sorts of mainstream and contrasting, unique roles. Would love to see her flourish. 😌🖤

She kills the Ava Character 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 love her on Abbott “ I don’t speak Line” 😂 classic

She seems so natural on camera. I’m so surprised she hasn’t acted more prior to Abbott!

I've been a fan of her comedy for years, I'm so glad she's getting her flowers, and on one of the best network sitcoms OF ALL TIME, PERIOD. Also loving her in that red hair, she is always gorgeous.

Ava is my favourite TV character since Wilhelmina from Ugly Betty. And her reading Janine for filth at each turn is the cherry on top. 😂😂😂

Love Janelle. Her character is so familiar to her. Excellent actress 👏🏾

5:44 the laugh 😭😭 ugh love janelle so damn much

I love Ava, and her timing is perfect. Continue to make us laugh. Each cast member is great. I love the show

Janelle’d it 😂🤣 I love it and I love her 🙌🏾🔥

Principal Ava costume as Storm is so very iconic!

the styling in season 2 for Ava was 10/10. She always looked great but s2 really took it to another level!

I love Janelle - she is legit hilarious 😂😂😂 i love how she just kept gocong Ava's outfits A's 😂

Tyler is so cute clapping in the background when Janelle accepted her award 🥺

She is amazing. I can't wait to see her in more stuff. She has got so much talent to show us.

i love her, i hope she gets more recognition and roles. she absolutely nails Ava

Her laugh is infectious 😅

Abbott has made me love so many of these actors and actresses. I truly hope it brings them more gigs so I can see them even more

She is naturally funny without having to try so hard! Great looks!

I love her. I pray that I get to see her on more shows and movies in the future.

I fell in love with this show the first time I saw the trailer. ❤ Congratulations on all the success.

i will be watching everything she does forever.. such a great actress and comedian

The principal with very curious principles. Love Ava!

Love love love this show and her character!!

I love her and she always looks stunning!

After Jackee Harry and Tiffany Haddish, we just love a black female comedian/scene stealer with a raspy voice and a killer body 😊 I so hope she wins an Emmy next year.

Ava is my favorite character. I love her! 😂♥️

Basically Ava and Janelle never miss! Fashions are on point

Janelle is EVERYTHING ❤

I just love her 😂❤

can i just say this deep red hair with the silver nails is also an absolute look

Janine is a treat for the eyeballs.....I'm gonna have to give this a C. This was definitely Ava rating her lol 😂

I love me some Janelle!! She’s the perfect storm of doing TOO MUCH! I love it!!!

She’s literally one of my favorite actresses on tv rn!!!

Omg i loveeee her character and her energy ❤😂

Love her! Definitely an Ava superfan

I want to see her getting EMMY THIS YEAR

I just stumbled on an Ava montage on YT and that made me decide to watch the whole series 🎉🎉🎉

Ava has become one of my favs! After that episode where she subbed for Janine I developed a soft spot for her for sure

I love her fashion assessment of her wardrobe on the show.

god i love her so much

This show is hilarious cause of Ava!! She is really out there and I am here for it! Love the whole cast! LOVE Janelle’s laugh soo much!

I love her personality so much.

Janine is consistent with her wardrobe choices and what matters is that she is herself and happy with her choices.

I love Janelle!! she's such a treasure and so hilarious!

We need more Janelle!!

I love the JANELLED IT!! at the end. So clever. I just love her.

My favorite character! Her fashion is great!!!

Love Janelle!! So Talented !!

She is so awkwardly opposite of her character. I'm glad y'all let her talk alone on here. Her comedy is impeccable.

Love Janelle! Love Ava! Love Abbott! A's across the board for sure!!!

Congratulations!

i love janelle so much

I love her so much my favorite character on Abbott Elementary!
