It was a bit more like there were structures in place and like companies putting money into talent and you could go host something and get paid.
Like Cosmo would have you come like do a man on the street and they would, it was like Buzzfeed era, you know?
And so when I first moved to New York, I had like writer friends or people here and there and they'd be like,
do you want to come host this thing?
And I would do it completely for free at first.
Cause I didn't know that you should get paid.
And I would like leave my job or go before my job.
And I would host these little things.
And that's how I sort of got into like being on camera.
And cause that was just a thing back then.
And I would do that on camera.
And I met my manager as friends when we were both really young.
And she said to me, she was like, you gotta start writing stuff down.
And I went, oh, I don't know if I wanna do that.
And she's like, you have to start writing stuff down.
She was like, improv is a great skill and it is so fun and I still do improv shows and I really love it and it's my favorite form of comedy.

And she was right.
Yeah, she was really right.
I love it.
