She has been a field producer at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and has written for Late Show with David Letterman.[2] She developed the television project Soft Focus with Jena Friedman for Adult Swim, the first installment of which premiered in February 2018.[1]

Early life

She has appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,[3] The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore,[4] National Geographic Explorer,[5] MSNBC,[6] and BBC Two.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} She has also been a contributing writer to The New Yorker.[7]

In 2010, she received a cease and desist letter from The New York Times for parodying their wedding videos. The parody, titled Ted and Gracie, has since become a popular web series. In 2007, she wrote The Refugee Girls Revue, a satire inspired by American Girl dolls. The play earned critical acclaim in the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival[11] and had a successful run Off-Broadway.

In 2015, Friedman's solo show American Cunt, premiered in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to critical acclaim.[12][13][14] The magazine Paste named American Cunt one of the 10 Best Stand Up Comedy Specials of 2016.[8] She created Soft Focus with Jena Friedman, a series of Adult Swim specials that she also co-executive produces, directs, and hosts.
