On the Monday, April 21, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the producer detailed her Super Bowl experience to host Jimmy Kimmel.
“When we got there, we were walking to our suite and I see a Secret Service person and I was scared, because they said that somebody was gonna be there who is currently running the country,” Brunson told Kimmel. “And I was like, ‘There’s no way they put me in a [suite with him].’”

Kimmel, who has never been a fan of Trump, erupted with laughter as Brunson continued with her story.
“I’m like, ‘There’s no way. That’s just… Nobody would be put me in the booth with him,’” the actress said. “You don’t have to… There’s no way on Earth. And why would the universe make me choose between that and the Eagles?”

As Brunson’s concern continued to fester, she told Kimmel she finally decided to ask the Secret Service if they could inform her who she’d be sitting with.
“I’m like, ‘Hey, can you tell me what’s going on in there?’ The Secret Service says no, I’m like, ‘This is just the worst thing that’s ever happened to me,'” she quipped.

The producer attended Super Bowl LIX because she's a dedicated Philadelphia Eagles fan. Though she came close to being seated next to the president, it would be Biden who graced her with their presence. “I was very happy!” Brunson exclaimed about her suitemate.
Despite the relief, the Emmy winner was still concerned her loud cheering in front of the former first lady would seem disrespectful, as she told Kimmel she “needed to curse and swear.”

Brunson, however, made Biden aware of what to expect throughout the game, telling Kimmel, “I turned to her and I said, ‘You know Jill, if I may, I need to show my a-- right now. I need to yell and curse.’ She was so sweet. She said, ‘The only one stopping you is you.’”
Though Kimmel became cheeky when he asked Brunson if Biden let out a swear word of her own, the hitmaker defended the educator, exclaiming, "She did not; she’s a lady!"
