Katie Willert is one of the stars and writers of the long running, Webby Award nominated series After Hours on Cracked.com. Founded in 2010, the series is an institution of online culture and Katie’s stern, yet charming character is one of the series many highlights. With multiple web series and hundreds of millions of views under her belt, Katie is an expert when it comes to acting and writing for the internet, dealing with internet trolls, and achieving something that is very rare in the internet space. Career longevity. Katie and I could have talked about that, or our experiences coming up at the same time in the Los Angeles sketch comedy scene in the early 2010s, but instead we sat in silence for 25* minutes. Katie used that time to clean her apartment while I Facebook chatted with a friend from high school.

Note – Due to a glitch in my stopwatch app, Katie and I technically sat in silence for 28 minutes.
