Quinta Brunson Recalls Sharing a Super Bowl Suite With Jill Biden and Secret Service Agents

Quinta Brunson had a wonderful time at this year’s Super Bowl supporting the Philadelphia Eagles with none other than former first lady Jill Biden. 

The Abbott Elementary star attended Super Bowl LIX alongside her co-star Tyler James Williams and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson. However, the actors weren’t alone.

“When we got there, we’re walking to our suite, and I [saw] a Secret Service person,” Brunson recounted via Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday. “I was scared because they said that somebody was going to be there who is currently running the country.” 

Brunson referenced Donald Trump’s attendance at the February 9 NFL game without directly naming the president. “I was like, ‘There’s no way they put me in the [same suite as Trump],’” she said.

As they retreated to their suite, the two-time Emmy Award winner said she continued to see “more and more Secret Service people” and even asked an agent what was happening once they got to their seats. 

“We finally get in the booth, and I’m like, ‘Hey, can you tell me what’s going on in there?’” she recounted. “Secret Service says, ‘No,’ I’m like, this is just the worst thing that’s ever happened to me.’”

To Brunson’s surprise, the special attendee was Biden: “It was former first lady Jill Biden, and I can deal with that. I was very happy.” She added that it was “tough sitting next to a distinguished woman as herself while I needed to curse and swear” throughout the duration of the game.

“I turned to her and I said, ‘Jill, if I may, I need to show my ass right now, I need to yell and curse,’’’ Brunson said. “And she was so sweet, she said, ‘The only one stopping you is you.’”
