Hi! I’m Karen and I’m an Emmy-losing writer, comedian, and aspiring fisherman. Welcome to my page!!!1!~*

Since you’re probably here to read about me ol’ career… I’m currently staffed on the new Amy Poehler + Mike Schur series Dig (Peacock). Previously, I wrote for A Man on the Inside (Netflix), Pachinko (Apple TV), the Golden Globes, and some stuff for Sony Pictures TV. Before that, I spent 4+ years writing and appearing on-camera for Late Night with Seth Meyers, acted in HBO’s High Maintenance and FOX’s The Great North, and contributed regularly to The New Yorker.

As a comedian, I’ve opened for generous comics like Ronny Chieng and Joel Kim Booster; performed at venues like Carnegie Hall, the Greek Theater, and the Kennedy Center (rip); and bombed in too many dank basements in New York. I was featured on Vulture’s Comedians to Know, Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood, and Forbes 30 Under 30 (cringe, sorry). If you like public radio, you might also catch me on NPR’s Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! where I am a regular panelist and occasional guest host.

About me ol’ personal life… I grew up in the Bay Area, where I spent my childhood playing soccer and going to Costco. In college I majored in History & Literature and minored in taking improv too seriously. Now I live in Brooklyn Seoul Los Angeles. For more personal info, buy me dinner first!!
