Abbott Elementary writer-producer Brittani Nichols says the series spoke to her “in a way that no other television show ever has.”
, the Chicago thing of always mentioning which high school you went to, and how to sneak leftist tenets into comedy.I’m from Chicago. I think it was the second episode that they mentioned the high school I went to, and they talk about Eddy Curry in the trailer. So I was immediately onboard, just from the trailer, because it felt like something that was gonna speak to me in a way that no other television show ever has. It was so specific in its references and its tone and its structure.
Yeah, it is. It tells you a lot. People get judged off of their high schools in Chicago in a way that I haven’t seen happen in any other place. I think it’s partially because Chicago is so segregated and also so interestingly laid out. You could be from the same neighborhood, but the high school on one block is gonna have a completely different demographic than a high school just a few blocks over.My girlfriend went with me to Chicago — I think it was 2019, so right before the pandemic.
I love that. I want to work with my friends as much as possible. Everything I’ve made on my own has been very heavily populated by my friends. It’s advantageous because you know what makes your friends funny in a way that they may not even know. You know friends’ strengths. You can throw in specifics from your lived experience together and try to get to the root of what made those things funny or unique or relatable.
Yes. It’s so funny that there are so many parts of it that make it seem like maybe I wouldn’t want to watch it. Like what you just said: crowdfunding to pay for cops. That’s an example of how you can’t be beholden to what youI don’t know the exact politics of the creators, but they certainly aren’t painting a friendly picture of cops. But if you just said, “Hey, this is a comedy, and some of the main cast is cops,” I think people would have hesitance.had hesitance. So to do that is brave.
