Johnson was given her own one-hour Comedy Central special, Anjelah Johnson: That's How We Do It, in 2009. In 2008, Johnson was nominated for an ALMA Award for Outstanding Female Performance in a Comedy Television Series for her work on MADtv. However, her self-scripted character Bon Qui Qui, a fast-food employee who treats customers rudely, was received well and gained a similarly large YouTube following. Due to the impending writers strike, Johnson was often given only a few lines in the scripts during her tenure, as the writers had to produce more scripts at a faster pace. In 2007, Johnson joined the cast of sketch comedy show MADtv as a featured performer.
Her stand-up routine, comprising her impression of a Vietnamese nail salon employee, received a lot of attention on YouTube. She took improv classes, and quickly began to headline her own shows. Johnson moved to Los Angeles in 2005 to pursue a career in comedy after a friend suggested that she join a joke-writing class.
Her characters included a Vietnamese nail salon employee named Mỹ Linh/Tammy and a rude fast food employee turned music star named Bon Qui Qui (the latter of which has become popular outside of Johnson's short stint on MADtv). Johnson was a cast member on the series MADtv during its 13th season. Anjelah Nicole Johnson-Reyes (born May 14, 1982) is an American actress, comedian, and former NFL cheerleader.
