Venus fan girls over Kimmy Schmidt star Tituss Burgess

It seems season 3 of the Netflix hit Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt can't come soon enough.

Apropos of nothing—save her own TV-watching tendencies—Venus Williams weighed in on Twitter about the appeal of the show, which returns on May 19.

Venus, tagging Kimmy Schmidt breakout star Tituss Burgess in her post, gleefully noted that she has "picked up a few of his mannerisms."

Burgess, as is his wont, could only reply.

It's not difficult to see where Venus was coming from in saying she's studied the actor's work. Witness her post-match comment on court in Miami after her opening-match victory:

"Yaaas!" Venus exclaimed first. "Thank you for staying late, y'all. It's just ... past the hour where people become pumpkins, so it's nice to be out here with all you true fans." Burgess, known to fans as Titus Andromedon, couldn't have done it better.

That's not all, though. It turns out that Burgess, in his TV history including 30 Rock appearances (likewise written by Tina Fey), has made mention of the Williams sisters before:

Venus, who won the Miami Open (then the Lipton Championships) in 1998 for the first time, has returned to Indian Wells and, this week, to the scene of that sweet championship without Serena by her side. To walk with Serena is to be adjacent to the sun for most fellow mortals, and Venus, stepping out on her own at these events, has found herself the flying-solo elder sister with massive opportunities to shine.

And shine she has. When a reporter noted to her in Indian Wells that Rafael Nadal said he plays doubles for fun, Venus' reply was, "I play doubles to try to win Grand Slam championships—and that's fun." It stands to reason that Venus, who also regaled audiences with post-tennis, cool-down performances at the Australian Open, where she raced to the women's singles final, may be in one of the best stretches—and moods—of her life.

Call her Venus Andromedon. She likely won't mind. In fact, we know she doesn't.
