About this episode
In this week’s episode, Tay is back for another girl talk episode with actress and comedian Christina Kirkman! Christina begins by talking about competing in the “R U All That?: Nickelodeon's Search for the Funniest Kid in America” competition and winning the highly coveted spot as a regular cast member on All That at just 10 years old. She shares the reality of stepping into Hollywood so young, why she ended up leaving Nickelodeon, and the identity crisis that followed as she struggled to detach from the “All That girl” label. Christina opens up about how bullying and burnout led her to pivot toward broadcast journalism in college, but after an internship at Comedy Central, she found her way back to acting. She also talks about learning that she needs alone time to process and recharge, her experience balancing social media and the anxiety that can come with it, her habit of using comedy as a mask, and how her new podcast is helping her reconnect with herself in a more honest way.
