When I got picked up by the Tapout crew and was featured on their reality show, that really jumpstarted my career.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've had the great fortune of working with incredible people on many shows.
I was an actress long before I was a reality TV person.
I took tap classes growing up.
I booked my first national tour of a Broadway show right out of college. It was the tap show, '42nd Street.' I had only been tap dancing for three years when I booked that show.
I came to New York and started doing stand-up and improv, and started auditioning for commercials and voiceovers and stuff. My first job was on a pilot of that prank show called 'Boiling Points' on MTV.
I did this TV show, which was my first job ever. It wasn't a real acting part. It was like this promo for this sitcom and the main actress was meeting three different real people and then she was going to decide who was going to be on the episode.
Oh my goodness; the highlight of my career. I couldn't pick a show or a moment because that would just be impossible.
I had a great time on News Radio, I got to make tons of money in relative obscurity and learn a lot about the TV biz and work on my standup act constantly. It was a dream gig.
I host reality shows; the last thing I ever wanted to do was be a contestant on one.
None of those jobs were high-profile, but once I was on ET, people then began to associate me with that show. So, that is the thing that many people know me for. When in effect, that was the end of my television career.
