Tyler James Williams discusses how he feels about ”Abbott Elementary” reaching 100 episodes—and the fact that this is the first time in 30 years he has worked on a project that has hit this milestone. “I've been doing this for a very long time. I've been doing this for about 30 years. This will be the first time I hit 100 episodes on a show. To me, it's kind of like doing a marathon. It's like, yeah, anybody can kind of keep a good pace the first mile, maybe the first five, but towards the end of it, That's when you really figure out who you are. And I think that's more of what that milestone means for us. We did this for what is at least five years, it feels like you have to do in order to get to 100. Maybe four if you're doing it really, really efficiently. And we were still making a good show at episode 100. That's the thing I'll be most proud of when we hit it. That will be, I know that I'll be able to look to my left and to my right when we table read whatever that script is. And everybody sitting there, everybody who worked on that script, everybody who eventually shoot that script will be able to stand on the fact that we did a hundred of the best episodes we possibly could and we didn't phone it in once. That's what I'm proud of.”
