Megan Stalter BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Megan Stalter has had a whirlwind couple of weeks that place her firmly at the intersection of comedy, cultural conversation, and public spectacle. Kicking off with her unforgettable appearance at the 2025 Emmy Awards, Stalter made major headlines by shunning traditional glamour, arriving in blue jeans and a plain white tee rather than designer couture. She punctuated the look with a black handbag-bearing the words Cease Fire in reference to the Gaza conflict, using her platform to make a pointed political statement according to both The Hollywood Reporter and AOL. Her sartorial protest was celebrated for its boldness and quickly became one of the most discussed moments of the evening, with outlets like RadarOnline.com recapping her as a red carpet highlight, showcasing her ongoing commitment to blending humor and activism.
Just a week earlier, Stalter’s fashion game was in full swing at the MTV VMAs, where she was spotted carrying a studded Dunkin’ Donuts cup while dressed in an all-white getup. At the event, she was mistaken for Ava Max and Kesha by several fan accounts, a mix-up that ended up trending on social media after Ariana Grande herself jumped in to laugh along with Megan’s post on Instagram, leaving an affectionate comment according to Just Jared. These awards show appearances have only boosted Stalter’s pop culture presence, cementing her status as a red carpet risk-taker and humorist.
Professionally, Megan continues her breakout run as Kayla in HBO Max’s Hacks, which, fresh off two Emmy wins for co-stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, is currently filming its much-anticipated fifth and final season in New York. Deadline Film + TV reports that Stalter was seen alongside Smart and Einbinder running through the city’s streets for location shoots, adding an on-the-ground immediacy to her recent public profile. The series, marking its finale, signals both an end of an era and a notable biographical milestone for Stalter, whose performance has been integral to the show’s continued acclaim and industry impact.
Her influence was further recognized on September 30, when TIME honored Megan Stalter on its TIME100 Next list, calling her one of the Most Influential Rising Stars of 2025—a headline accolade highlighted by Just Jared and TIME magazine itself. The citation carries long-term significance, positioning Stalter not just as a breakout comic but as an artist whose reach transcends genre boundaries.
Business-wise, Stalter remains represented by Entertainment 360, which, as reported by Deadline Film + TV on October 9, continues to expand its comedy team. With a roster that now includes her alongside other top talents, Stalter’s career infrastructure remains strong, supporting her ventures across TV, live events, and festival stages.
Socially, her comments on celebrity diet culture and Ozempic—delivered with acid humor on recent podcasts and talk shows, including a July sit-down with Stephen Colbert—have circulated widely, feeding media dialogue on body image and public candor. Most recently, Parade chronicled her DIY fashion sense and candid persona, including her viral Colbert appearance clad in a hand-sewn top declaring herself the prettiest girl in America.
Finally, Stalter is slated to be a featured guest at the upcoming New Yorker Festival, one of autumn’s marquee cultural events per The Hollywood Reporter. Her inclusion signals another step into major public forums, underscoring her multidimensional growth from internet comedy phenom to Emmy-red carpet disruptor, show-stealing ensemble fixture, cultural commentator, and bona fide rising star.
