With mixed emotions, she boarded the plane with her one-way ticket to Los Angeles. Since then, Danielle has performed at The World Famous Comedy Store in Hollywood, Flappers in Burbank, and at The Improv in Brea, as well as many clubs and bars in the surrounding areas.
Danielle has also created the Dr. Cheesecake Podcast (available on iTunes), in which her guests explain a problem in their life and Danielle solves it using an episode of The Golden Girls (and a slice of cheesecake!)

Danielle also writes, produces, and hosts Golden Girls trivia at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood.
In her spare time, Danielle likes to host game night with friends, spend time with her wonderful family, and tell strangers about the time she offered Bret Michaels her virginity, which he very politely declined.

They also explore Zach's lifelong love of language, from spelling bees to hip hop. Zach reveals how his Jewish heritage surprisingly influenced his love of rap, and how he went from college comedy groups to open mics in Boston, eventually landing in LA.
Later, they delve into the symbolism of numbers and wordplay in Jewish culture, and Zach shares more about his experience on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
