Why she might be annoying:

    Her own sketch comedy show was canceled after a single season.
    She returned to RACF from her second maternity leave in the Fall of 2008 only to find that the regular show was about to be canceled that coming December.
    The show would return annually as a Reunion special, although she only participated in the 2010 and 2016 Reunion shows.
    Some of her more unorthodox RACF impersonations have included Michael Jackson, Tim Allen, Jim Carrey, and Britney.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was an LDS missionary in Venezuela.
    She has appeared in a number of Ross Petty's annual Christmas pantomime family musicals.
    Her comedy stylings parody Right-wing politicized Christian fundamentalism.
    She was brought on to RACF so that Luba Goy would no longer be stuck as the one-size-fits-all impersonator of female politicians and celebrities whom she didn’t even resemble.
    She received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Lead Performance in a Web Program or Series at the Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.
