With Abbott Elementary gearing up for Season 3 (and 4), creator and star Quinta Brunson appeared on First We Feast's Hot Ones to tackle some increasingly spicy wings.

Over the course of the interview Brunson talks about the perfect length for a comedy show, the "note" she got from a passing mail man, and the process of writing an SNL opening monologue, and rates beloved shows like The Office and Parks and Rec.

Brunson hits a few road-bumps with the wings along the way, but ultimately conquers them all like a champion.
