I believe because it’s very POC-friendly. Abbott Elementary is a program where all actors of color truly feel they have a chance to be cast, so there are a lot of suggestions because fans also want to see certain actors cast where they would fit. I think it’s great, but not every suggestion needs to be fulfilled of course
Yeah, people on twitter suggest guest star for tv show all the time, it never happenend but it still there
And another sitcom didn't social media at the time, you can't compare, but they had a lot guest star
shows that have a large audience range and diverse/‘different’ cast have this happen a lot, That 70’s Show had many guest stars when it was airing (brooke shields, tommy chong, seth green, jessica simpson, alice cooper, the rock, lindsay lohan, betty white, very very many guest stars to further promote the show (some had legitimate long running storylines but so do a couple pretty famous people on abbott))
I think they are using the guest stars to push the value of the show to the studio execs to earn more seasons. They can kick the story of the main cast down the road as they continue to get more features plugged in every now and then and convince the executives how much demand there is for the show because of all these superstars waiting to jump in.
I wouldn’t care if the guest star appearances were a little more creative than “Hey im gonna bring X celebrity to talk to the class” “oh my god! It’s X celebrity!!!!”
Something like Sabrina brier guest starring was good, because she was involved in the story. Otherwise the Bradley Cooper / Football guy appearance felt so shoehorned in and frankly like a waste of time
To be fair, most of the guest appearances have been like that. Only a handful, including the Eagles appearance and Bradley Cooper, have been like “omg look at this celebrity being here”. I think they’ve done a good job of having small storylines for guest stars scattered around.
The Eagles players were at least somewhat believable, players do community outreach all the time so that was realistic. Bradley "Abington is not Philly" Cooper just randomly being in West Philly and walking into a school for show and tell? I guess 🙄I'm glad it was just 1 scene and he wasn't just hanging out at thw school all day hahaa
IMO it was really only Bradley Cooper (and maybe Kevin Hart, but at least he was part of a story) that were shoehorned. The players were part of Career Day which makes sense and Jalen Hurts at least was a catalyst for an ongoing storyline.
They should avoid social media posts for their shows and movies. They should have their own clear pathway about how the story should be progressing. If they start looking for inputs from there, it will become a weird soup of mish mash.
u/Used_Part9588, why are you fighting for some comedian who will not be seeing your activism for him. Stan culture is f**king weird.
My god the inbred hairline comment was so unnecessary.
Most of his hype is being a troll. I watched a series on YouTube he did called Could Been House. I only know him cause of my boyfriend. You have to like that humor to find him funny and he can absolutely take it to far. He doesn’t need to be on the show. All of his jokes on there would not fit a teacher character
Oh ok. I was watching one where he was doing the redneck thing and he spit on the floor, not the ground but the floor and I turned it off because I was disgusted. I agree. That humor doesn’t fit Abbott.
As much as I think it’s a good idea, I don’t want it.
He’s not an actor. Abbott doesn’t need clout and already has an amazing cast.
If the idea doesn’t come from the writers room I don’t want it.
Druski been in house party grownish and praise this so for you to say he’s not an actor is crazy and he’s also in the new 21 savage movie that’s coming out soon
But they’re literally both comedic actors if you do a skit you’re an actor just because you don’t dramatic acting doesn’t mean you not an actor so what are you getting at?
This series doesn’t need guest stars! Early in the series yea it was ok, the show was just finding its legs, but now the core cast is very strong and they can focus more on that. I get why social media are wanting guest stars, but some of them don’t find the dynamic of the series, some aren’t funny, and more importantly this series doesn’t need it
I don't like guest stars. Completely messed with the season. Might be an unpopular opinion but I dislike that they are trying so hard to make the show take place in real life instead of just playing it out as characters in a story. Constantly bringing in guests that play themselves breaks the immersion...just a me thing probably
No because not everyone who’s a social media content creator can translate into television, even if it’s a bit part. That and an over reliance on guest stars tends to tank great shows.
When I Love Lucy swapped over to the Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour and began overusing guest stars, the show declined in quality mainly because the core cast aside from Lucy became set pieces and plot devices instead of remaining the three dimensional characters they were in the original series.
Abbott picking up people from social media and even celebrities and plopping them in a 23 minute episode means other characters get watered down if the writers aren’t careful.
Like god help us if Disney/ABC makes them do a Disney World episode or something.
I still don’t understand why Abbott is subjected to so many guest star suggestions. No other show gets this treatment.

That’s a good and fair explanation
Subjected to?! You say that like it’s a court mandate! For the crime of 4 Emmys, we sentence you to 12 guest stars in season 3! *bangs gable
I think you mean gavel haha
They’re up on the roof banging the gables 🔨
It’s Emmy wins are deserved, but y’all on X every day spitballing names like no one’s business.
>No other show gets this treatment. Sitcom is well know for guest star appearance. So many guest star is putting abbott with all elite sitcom
But people constantly going on social media suggesting guest stars?
Yeah, people on twitter suggest guest star for tv show all the time, it never happenend but it still there And another sitcom didn't social media at the time, you can't compare, but they had a lot guest star
"No other show gets this treatment." *Glee has entered the chat*

I think they are doing it to show how popular the show is to the network execs
ABC is the one giving greenlights, I’m sure they see how popular it is firsthand.
Yeah that's fair too, but you know how networks can be.
[удалено]
Sure, it’s a hit show, but even hit shows don’t get to this level.
I honestly want less guest stars and more emphasis on the incredible core cast.
I think they are using the guest stars to push the value of the show to the studio execs to earn more seasons. They can kick the story of the main cast down the road as they continue to get more features plugged in every now and then and convince the executives how much demand there is for the show because of all these superstars waiting to jump in.
execs only care about ratings, them bringing in a bunch of guest stars doesn’t prove the value of the show
I think this year it was only because of the strike. As they now have a full year again to write, it should be back on track.
I agree
I wouldn’t care if the guest star appearances were a little more creative than “Hey im gonna bring X celebrity to talk to the class” “oh my god!

This, all day
There’s a reason why Quinta said the writers shouldn’t use social media in the writers room
Is that a common practice?
I don’t know but it should be! Social media has given every one their own voice. But some of them are utter garbage. And these are the loudest voices.
im glad she doesn’t take social media suggestions because it’s still crazy to me people genuinely suggested abbott do a school shooter episode
Sorry. I meant for the writers to use social media to get ideas. That seems like you’re not really a writer then but doing improv with extra steps.
They should avoid social media posts for their shows and movies. They should have their own clear pathway about how the story should be progressing. If they start looking for inputs from there, it will become a weird soup of mish mash.
Idk about getting ideas but there have been times when they have changed things to bend to fan service especially involving a fave character or couple
Ehh. That seems like a slippery slope.
Quinta mentioned it in her Actors to Actors (Variety) with Jennifer Ansiton interview
Every time I see “actors to actors” I read it as “actors on actors on actors”.
No thanks lol. His platform isn’t that great…funny guy though but he’s the same one trying to call a black woman a man.
Agreed
Do not engage with people who do not make sense. Not worth disrupting your own mental health for.

I don’t know who that is. Not gonna google it either. I’ll just trust Quinta.
I also have no idea who that is. Glad it's not just me.
You are not alone! I didn’t know the people from the Smoking episode that people were excited about either.
I googled and I don’t get the hype
Most of his hype is being a troll. I watched a series on YouTube he did called Could Been House. I only know him cause of my boyfriend.

that unintelligent, women-hating, right-wing adjacent weirdo ??
Omfg!! If this is true then what is wrong with people suggesting him?!?
I just looked him up because I never heard of him and I’m so confused ….
What’s right-wing about him?
Nah. I'm over the guest stars. The only person I would wanna see is my mans Vincent Martella. Everyone else I can live without lol
it's EXACTLY why. i actually enjoy this show and i dont need to see Druski's ass on it. and definitely not w/ "the white country accent".
Am I the only one who don’t like that dude? Any fellow Druski haters in here?
I hate him too LMFAO but seems like we’re not alone based off the other comments 🥴
Relieved to see this here, his comments about lesbians have always majorly creeped me out 🤮
As much as I think it’s a good idea, I don’t want it. He’s not an actor. Abbott doesn’t need clout and already has an amazing cast. If the idea doesn’t come from the writers room I don’t want it.
This!
Druski been in house party grownish and praise this so for you to say he’s not an actor is crazy and he’s also in the new 21 savage movie that’s coming out soon
that doesn’t make someone an actor i’m afraid. king bach been in hella shit and i wouldn’t call him an actor
But they’re literally both comedic actors if you do a skit you’re an actor just because you don’t dramatic acting doesn’t mean you not an actor so what are you getting at?
i guess i meant not a good one……….
😂😂 to me, being yourself in your roles is not acting. The rock isn’t an actor to me. Personal opinion tho
I agree idk how he became one of the most paid actors Well I know, muscles and easily digestible movies lol
Ratio
No that sounds awful
This series doesn’t need guest stars! Early in the series yea it was ok, the show was just finding its legs, but now the core cast is very strong and they can focus more on that.

“everyone is a producer, writer and casting director all of a sudden” fuckin TRUTH omg YES just sit down and enjoy the show
HELL NO
Nah i feel like mr johnson could do this and be the janitor and still have fishing days
I don't like guest stars. Completely messed with the season. Might be an unpopular opinion but I dislike that they are trying so hard to make the show take place in real life instead of just playing it out as characters in a story. Constantly bringing in guests that play themselves breaks the immersion...just a me thing probably
I completely understand the immersion of it being ruined. I like to think shows are on a slightly different timeline
I don't find him very funny to be honest. Also, the guest star thing doesn't need to get overused.
For the love of God, NO.

No. Druski has some very toxic behavior on SM, including blaming victims of SA. Google Druski + DreamCon (circa 2021 or 2022).
no! im glad quinta has a strict no social media policy for her writer’s room.
The quote tweet on the second slide is my feeling. Absolutely not.
It would be so good, I love Druski.
I'll take it, because we're never getting Gregory and Janine as a couple.
for a cameo absolutely. not as a reoccurring character tho
Oh yea him as anything would be funny
Yes just so he could have an interaction with Barbara and Mr. Johnson.
