The fact that she hasn't won an Emmy is real wrong. Ava is the most hilarious character on TV

I feel like they THOUGHT they had an idea of Ava as a minor character was when they casted her, but then realized they had struck GOLD and wrote her in more

@tnate6004 3 ай бұрын

How she manages Ava's rapid-fire delivery but gets all the nuances of the character is astounding.

She looks amazing and I hope she gets that Emmy next year. Her standup comedy is so good too.

She is so personable, and natural. When people find fame as a full adult, they are more gracious and humble.

@Xterminalism 3 ай бұрын

Is Ava selfish, at times. Do her subordinates’ concern fly over her head, absolutely. But in the crux of things she always ends up delivering. She’s a considerate person at heart. She understands the ins and outs and she’s willing to sacrifice her ego for a better good…however much it may annoy her.

@nul672 3 ай бұрын

She’s actually so funny, there was a lot of jokes and subs that both the audience and jimmy missed it’s actually crazy 😂

She 100% makes the show better. She gets most of the funny lines and her delivery is really great. All are wonderful on the show, but most of the characters are replaceable, if absolutely necessary. Not Ava.

abbott is such a great show. when they dropped the "back that azz up" beat & ava ran off to heed that call in the gym like a moth to a flame, i laughed so hard i was cryin & wheezin. hubs walked through & saw me & he was like "are you okay???!" lmaooo janelle is hysterical! 🤣

@karontipton4656 3 ай бұрын

Her responses on the show are so witty 😂. Like the episode where she called Tyler James Williams character “Jeremy Allen BLACK” when he was trying to flex his muscles and look sexy. That shoutout to Jeremy Allen White (Main Character in “The Bear” and latest Calvin Klein model of underwear ) was hilarious 🤣🤣. Super rapid fire ❤❤

Janelle, I would love to know why you dissed and or ignored Roland Martin to get to Kevin Frazier on the "Shirley" movie red carpet on Wednesday night? Just curious 🤔. That was kinda fowell though, to be honest.
