She\u2019s talking about astrology, the perennial fascination that, no matter how ambiguous, has seeped into every corner of our especially online lives. The 31-year-old comedian is a Virgo, but she can\u2019t relate to the perfectionist traits associated with the sign. \u201cMaybe my work ethic is Virgo, but I\u2019m just so messy,\u201d she says. Lucky for Stalter, messiness has no bearing on success, something she has been experiencing plenty of since her breakout supporting role in <em>Hacks<\/em>, an HBO comedy about the relationship between a legendary Las Vegas comic (Jean Smart) and her young outcast writer (Hannah Einbinder).<\/p><div class=\"smagt-in-article-repeating\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"smagt-2553025980\"><script async=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/securepubads.g.doubleclick.net\/tag\/js\/gpt.js\"><\/script>\n<script> var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];<\/script>\n<div id=\"gpt-ad-6368165887162-0\">\n  <script>\n\tgoogletag.cmd.push(function() {\n\t\t\t\tgoogletag.defineSlot( '\/1057191\/smagtest_300x250', [300,250], 'gpt-ad-6368165887162-0' )\n\t\t.addService(googletag.pubads()).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true);\n\t\t\t\twindow.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers || {};\n\t\tconst timers                     = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers;\n\n\t\ttimers['gpt-ad-6368165887162-0'] = setTimeout( function () {\n\t\t\tconst id = 'gpt-ad-6368165887162-0';\n\t\t\tdocument.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( 'aagam_empty_slot', {detail: id} ) );\n\t\t\tdelete ( timers[id] );\n\t\t}, 1000 );\n\n\t\tif ( typeof window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener === 'undefined' ) {\n\t\t\tgoogletag.pubads().addEventListener( 'slotRequested', function ( ev ) {\n\t\t\t\tconst id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();\n\t\t\t\tif ( typeof timers[id] === 'undefined' ) {\n\t\t\t\t\treturn;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\tclearTimeout( timers[id] );\n\t\t\t\ttimers[id] = setTimeout( function () {\n\t\t\t\t\tdocument.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( 'aagam_empty_slot', {detail: id} ) );\n\t\t\t\t\tdelete ( timers[id] );\n\t\t\t\t}, 2500 );\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t\tgoogletag.pubads().addEventListener( 'slotResponseReceived', function ( ev ) {\n\t\t\t\tconst id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();\n\t\t\t\tif ( typeof timers[id] !== 'undefined' ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tclearTimeout( timers[id] );\n\t\t\t\t\tdelete ( timers[id] );\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\tif ( ! ev.slot.getResponseInformation() ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tdocument.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( 'aagam_empty_slot', {detail: id} ) );\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t\twindow.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener = true;\n\t\t}\n\n\t\tgoogletag.enableServices();\n\t\tgoogletag.display( 'gpt-ad-6368165887162-0' );\n\t} );\n  <\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When we meet over Zoom, Stalter is fresh off her first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/televisionacad\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emmys<\/a>, where <em>Hacks <\/em>swept the comedy categories, including best writing, best directing, and a best actress nod for Smart. \u201cIt was so much fun, it felt surreal. I saw Kate Winslet on a couch. I felt like a little kid,\u201d she says. While the night was star-studded, Stalter reserves fanning out for her childhood idol. \u201cI don\u2019t worship celebrities unless they\u2019re<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dollyparton\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Dolly Parton<\/a>. If I saw Dolly Parton in a store, something might take over me,\u201d she says. \u201cI think she\u2019s the coolest celebrity in the whole world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Hacks<\/em>, Stalter plays a hilariously overstepping low-level assistant whose father owns half the company. \u201cKayla is extremely nervous and confident at the same time. She\u2019s very privileged, and I think she\u2019s trying to impress her boss, but she also thinks that she\u2019s the boss,\u201d says Stalter. Kayla is a chaotic joy to watch, and is somewhat of a continuation of the many characters that the comedian has inhabited on social media\u2014from the boss who thinks she\u2019s more fun than she really is to the wife who surprises her husband on a business trip where he\u2019s about to cheat on her. \u201cThey\u2019re usually people that are losing their minds but trying to pretend like everything\u2019s okay,\u201d she says. \u201cI think I make fun of stuff that I am, at least in part. You can only play parts that have at least a small part of you or someone you love.\u201d There\u2019s also a thread of delusion that carries through each of these wild pastiches, which Stalter says is the same delusion that got her to where she is today. \u201cYou just can\u2019t be in the field without it. You have to believe in yourself more than anyone else does,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65-686x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65-686x1024.jpg 686w, https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65-768x1146.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65-1029x1536.jpg 1029w, https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65-1372x2048.jpg 1372w, https:\/\/smagazineofficial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/meg_stalter_alexa_visicus__65.jpg 1535w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Photography by Alexa Viscius.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up in Dayton, Ohio, Stalter used to dream about being an actress. \u201cI used to imagine myself on <em>E! True Hollywood Story<\/em>, but not the part where the story ends badly,\u201d she says. She avoided pursuing her dream for years, thinking it too impractical to be a reality. Stalter considered nursing and even becoming a church missionary, but nothing clicked until she moved to Chicago and joined the improv scene. When COVID-19 hit, she was devastated to not be performing onstage, so she turned to Instagram Live, which she transformed into a nightly variety show where she\u2019d perform as her alter-egos, host theme nights, and engage directly with fans. \u201cThere were definitely parts of the pandemic where I was really depressed, but I think when I got to be creative or feel okay about being alone, I got to be even more authentic about what I thought was funny,\u201d she says. As for what makes her laugh? \u201cThere\u2019s nothing funnier than Pee-Wee Herman when he\u2019s mean,\u201d she says. That, and being roasted. \u201cI think one of my love languages is being teased.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"smagt-article-ad\" id=\"smagt-3821867501\"><script async=\"async\"
