Bradley Cooper Makes Cameo in 'Abbott Elementary' Post-Oscars Episode, Sheryl Lee Ralph Reacts (Exclusive)

The Emmy winner shared a behind-the-scenes tidbit about Cooper's appearance on Sunday night's episode.

Cooper, whose passion project Maestro was nominated for seven Academy Awards but won none, stopped by the ABC sitcom to play himself in the cold open of the comedy series' episode, which aired directly after the ceremony's telecast. In the episode's opening moments, the Oscar nominee shows up at the titular school as the guest of Khalil, a second-grader who "brought a famous person" in for show-and-tell. "Guys, he's literally in a critically acclaimed film right now," Janine ( Quinta Brunson) says, only for Melissa to refer to the big winner on Oscars night: "Mhm, Oppenheimer," she replies.
