Megan Stalter made quite the entrance on Today With Jenna & Friends Tuesday (July 15) morning.
The actress, who was visiting to promote her new Netflix series Too Much, strolled into the studio in sunglasses, a bathrobe, and rollers in her hair as she greeted Jenna Bush Hager and celebrity guest host, Ciara.
The ladies could not hold back their laughter as they took in Stalter’s unexpected outfit.
“Hi Megan! Wow, this is a look,” Bush Hager commented as she gave Stalter a hug.
“Sorry I didn’t have time to finish getting ready,” Stalter explained as she hugged Ciara. She then sat in Ciara and Bush Hager’s seat until the co-hosts asked her to move to the opposite couch.
Amidst all of the laughter, Stalter told the ladies, “I’m so glad we could make this work. I know you’ve been wanting me on the show.”
Stalter is clearly enjoying her moment in the spotlight. The comedic actress has become a breakout star as the audacious assistant Kayla Schaeffer on HBO Max’s Hacks. Now, she’s the lead star and romantic heroine of Lena Dunham‘s new Netflix series, Too Much.
Stalter even complained that Today started broadcasting a bit too early for her schedule.
“We have been wanting you on the show!” Bush Hager told her. “Now, what is happening here? Your fit is great but what is happening?”
“Right back at you both sisters,” Stalter told Ciara and Bush Hager. “Um, I just didn’t have a lot of time to get ready. You guys start so early, I have such a big day of press.” She then turned and asked someone off-camera, “By the way, are we good on time?”
And a star is born!
The actress stars in Too Much as a young professional who moves to London for work and, hopefully, a new shot at love. But she gets more than she bargained for when she meets an indie musician.
Decider’s Joel Keller praised Stalter’s leading performance in a review of the new series, calling her a “brash and entertaining comedic presence.”
Today with Jenna & Friends airs on weekdays at 10/9c on NBC.
