One of Stalter's most recognisable moments might be her 2021 viral TikTok video featuring the now-iconic 'hi, gay' line. In the skit, she plays a woman trying to sell butter to the queer community during Pride Month. 'That video, I literally was rushing out the door,' she told The New Yorker. 'It was Pride Month, and I've just seen so many ads from places that would never normally do a Pride thing. It just was, like, something clicked – where it was, like, 'God, that would be so funny.''
Stalter's videos started to gain traction during the pandemic, which eventually earned her the title of 'queen of quarantine', per the same publication.
She's always loved being on stage

The Sandman season 2: Netflix's ambitious adaptation of Neil Gaiman's fantasy epic returns
It is with decidedly mixed feelings that audiences approach season two of Netflix's The Sandman. Advertisement They may be eager on the one hand to witness more of the show adapted from Neil Gaiman's long-thought-unfilmable comic book series , but crestfallen in the knowledge that the series has now been cancelled, following a string of sexual assault accusations levelled at Gaiman. It is somewhat ironic that after decades spent languishing in development hell – where it was repeatedly dismembered and reconfigured by an industry decidedly uncomfortable with The Sandman's unwieldy and unconventional form – it would be Gaiman himself who would cause its premature termination. Netflix is staggering the release of this second – and final – season. Six episodes drop this week, followed by five more on July 24, and a final bonus episode landing on July 31. And that, at least for the foreseeable future, will be it for The Sandman, leaving more than half of Gaiman's endlessly inventive source material untouched.
