— Meg Stalter — Meg Stalter The girl you get stuck with in every waiting room at an audition: https://t.co/vA4dyuAhlgWhether they're an unlucky-in-love former real estate agent turned Disney Parks employee , or a wannabe actress auditioning for the part of a 15-year-old girl who"gets sick from the sun," Stalter's characters are faking it until they make it, loud and theatrical with big hair and winged eyeliner and affected accents.
While some live performers have been thrown into career uncertainty by the COVID-19 pandemic, Salter was accidentally prepared."I definitely feel like I didn't fully realize until staying inside that I'm ready to do all this online stuff," she says."I've been doing it already, and I can do this for a little while. It just shows how much comedians can do online." One unintended consequence? A new legion of teen fans.
Like many in her industry, Salter has also turned to the recording studio of late. On her new podcast,on the buzzy Forever Dog network, she's in character as an alternate, considerably more fame-hungry version of herself —"a mean nobody that wants to be famous." But Stalter remains likeable and well-intentioned even in this deluded diva guise, stuttering her way through the catchy opening track and mixing her aphorisms.
Stalter's brother Nick acts as the podcast's co-host, playing a much-maligned version of himself who attends to his sister's various whims but never wins her approval. The real version of Stalter speaks fondly of Nick as the naturally funnier sibling, whose life is ripe for anecdote."He told this story on the podcast about him eating garlic," she recalls.
You're only a loser if you feel like a loser, and Stalter's alter egos rarely contemplate that possibility."They are truly failures," she says."Failures who are like,"Oh my God, you'll never guess what I just did. I'm a genius."
