You must watch these 7 Megan Stalter movies and TV shows if you love the comedian and actress

1. Hacks

Megan Stalter is Kayla, the self-assured and utterly unguarded assistant to a big-time Hollywood agent. Although she's not one of the leads, Kayla is always creating havoc by saying the wrong thing at the worst possible moment and doing it with style. Her personality not only provides humour she also contributes tension and surprise, particularly in situations where she unwittingly sabotages vital deals or meetings.

In spite of her over-the-top actions, Kayla never appears misplaced within the cutthroat comedy universe of Hacks. Megan makes her appropriately off-putting and strangely likable.


2. ⁠Snack vs. Chef

On the food competition Snack vs. Chef, Megan Stalter co-hosts the show as herself, with a light, funny presence, relief and earnest curiosity. As the role she plays is her on-screen character, she is playful exaggerated and unpredictable. She does more than just announcing the challenges Megan interacts with the contestants, reacts to the weird snacks, and somehow manages to bless awkward moments with a sense of weird sincerity.

The offbeat chemistry she shares with co-host Hari Kondabolu feels fresher than regular cooking shows. Something that could have been a run-of-the-mill cooking show becomes so much more weird and memorable, all due to Megan’s unique sense of humor as a co-host.


3. Too Much

Megan Stalter plays the starring role of Jessica, an American woman who flees to London to begin anew after a breakup. Jessica is awkward, yes, but also messy, open-hearted, and human. Jessica is a departure from Megan's typical over-the-top characters as she gets to show more emotion.

She's attempting to heal, sort through muddled romantic emotions, and find out who she is while making people laugh in small, honest moments.

Too Much provides Megan with room to demonstrate that she's more than a comedic actress; she's capable of leading the show with heart and vulnerability.


4. ILY, Bye

In ILY, Bye Megan Stalter plays a fictionalized version of herself throughout a series of super-brief cringe comedy vignettes. The sketches are all a glimpse into her messy brain. She plays a range of characters but they're all versions of Megan dealing with strange social encounters, crashed conversations, and emotional cycles.

These short episodes demonstrate her timing and improv talent, but also the way she makes awkward moments feel fun and real, normal and funny. It's messy, personal, and classic Megan.


5. The Treasure of Foggy Mountain

Megan Stalter appears as Lisa, an odd and intense camp worker caught up in a strange treasure hunt with the Please Don't Destroy group. She comes and goes throughout the film, each time making scenes fun and unpredictable through odd logic. Megan's portrayal walks the line between absurdity and dedication, making Lisa one of the most memorable supporting characters.

She is fully realized and completely over-the-top funny despite limited on-screen time, complementing the movie's offbeat tone in equal measure.


6. Cora Bora
