She eventually started stand-up comedy. She was contracted to write jokes for comedians making TV appearances, and joined the staff of Comedy Central Roast . [3]

In April 2021, she signed a deal with Universal Television to produce a single-camera workplace comedy, [5] the series Blockbuster, which ran on Netflix [1] but was cancelled after one season. [2] The irony of running on Netflix a show about Blockbuster - whose demise was partly caused by Netflix - was part of the advertising twist about the series.
