It is transplanted from YouTube clips adding new material. Segments included character sketches, celebrity satires, and parody music videos.[5] She also hosts the Nickelodeon game show, Paradise Run, which premiered on February 1, 2016.[6] The show was renewed for a second season which is scheduled to film from May to June 2016.[7]
