After seven seasons, Ego Nwodim left Saturday Night Live last year. And while fans of the long-running series may have had to say goodbye to Lisa from Temecula, they can still get plenty of Nwodim: the 38-year-old comedian hosts the podcast Thanks Dad and is set to appear in Hulu’s upcoming series Not Suitable for Work and Netflix’s Little Brother.
Clearly, Nwodim is still putting herself—and her talent—out there. But she’s also being intentional about what she takes on, resisting the urge to say yes to every opportunity or weigh in on every conversation simply because her career has given her the platform to do so.
