Anjelah Johnson's Rise to Comedy Stardom: From YouTube Sensation to MADtv 

Back in 2005, Anjelah Johnson decided to move to Los Angeles with the goal of pursuing a career in comedy, following a friend's suggestion to join a joke-writing class. She honed her skills by taking improv classes and soon started headlining her own comedy shows. One of her stand-up routines, where she portrayed a Vietnamese nail salon employee, gained significant attention on YouTube.  

In 2007, Johnson's career took a leap when she became a part of the cast for the sketch comedy show MADtv. However, due to an impending writers' strike, she often received only a few lines in the scripts during her time there. Despite this, she managed to make a mark with her self-scripted character, Bon Qui Qui, an impolite fast-food worker. The character became a hit on YouTube and garnered a large following.  

Anjelah's talents did not go unnoticed, and in 2008, Johnson received a nomination for an ALMA Award for her outstanding performance in a comedy television series for her work on MADtv. In 2009, Comedy Central gave Anjelah her own one-hour special titled "Anjelah Johnson: That's How We Do It." Beyond her comedy, she also appeared in movies like "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel," "Our Family Wedding," and lent her voice to the live-action adaptation of "Marmaduke." Moreover, she made appearances on the late-night talk show "Lopez Tonight," hosted by George Lopez.  

Johnson's popularity continued to grow, and in 2011, she became the spokesperson for Taco Cabana, a Mexican restaurant chain. Additionally, in 2012, she became the national campaign spokesperson for the "Don't be an S.O.V." campaign, led by vRide, a prominent vanpooling company. The campaign aimed to encourage single commuters to consider ridesharing, carpooling, or vanpooling.  

Anjelah's iconic MADtv character, Bon Qui Qui, made a comeback in 2013 for a skit released by Alexander Wang. Johnson's second stand-up comedy special, titled "Homecoming Show," was later premiered on Netflix, and it was filmed in San Jose, California.  

In 2014, Johnson was featured as Bon Qui Qui in a parody music video called "This Is How We Do It," directed by Randal Kirk II, for Benefit cosmetics, alongside social media influencer Britney Furlan. On October 1, 2015, Anjelah's third stand-up special, titled "Anjelah Johnson: Not Fancy," was released on Netflix. This special was filmed in southern California.
