Aside from her tenure on It's Always Sunny, Olson has broadened her horizons to other television programs. Other notable titles on which she's taken long-term parts include Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Drew Carrey Show, and the short-lived sitcom The Mick, which she also executive produced. She also makes frequent cameo and guest appearances in other shows, like New Girl and Space Force.
Like most in her profession, Olson has leaped from the small to the big screen on a handful of occasions. Her film debut came in 2000 when she took on a small part in Coyote Ugly, but it was uncredited, and not much about which to write home. As her fame grew, however, she lengthened her filmography with movies like 2013's The Heat and 2015's Vacation, both of which played perfectly into her comedic skills. Although she isn't always a leading lady, Kaitlin Olson consistently holds her own whenever and wherever she's on screen, as evidenced by her hard-earned Emmy nomination.
