Speaking of Quinta, you might be wondering why she wasn’t with the rest of her castmates. If you forgot, she was in New York City gearing up to host the April 1 episode of Saturday Night Live.

Have no fear, though! She joked about Abbott Elementary during her opening monologue.

“I have been dreaming about this since I was a kid. I actually wanted to be on SNL back in the day. But the audition process seemed long. Instead, I just created my own TV show, made sure it became popular, won a bunch of Emmys and then got invited to host it,” she joked. “So much easier.” She also compared the show to Friends, throwing some shade at the beloved sitcom.
