==History==
Stevie Ryan moved to L.A. at age 19 to pursue a career in acting and modeling, but she wanted to make people laugh. It was [[YouTube]] that inspired Ryan to be funny. She received a camcorder from her ex-boyfriend originally to shoot silent films. Instead, she focused on impersonating celebrities including [[Justin Bieber]], [[Lady Gaga]], [[Rachel Zoe]], and [[Amy Winehouse]]. She also developed her own characters on YouTube, such as Mexican-American [[Cholo_(subculture)|homegirl]] Little Loca, and Katrina, who was a [[parody]] of poorly behaved [[teenagers]] who appear on ''[[Maury (TV series)|Maury]]''.
Ryan's portrayals of these characters garnered thousands of YouTube views, which eventually caught the attention of VH1, resulting in her own show on the network.<ref>{{cite web|last=Andreeva|first=Nellie|title=VH1 Picks Up Weekly Pop-Culture Show Starring Stevie Ryan|url=https://deadline.com/2011/08/vh1-picks-up-weekly-pop-culture-show-starring-stevie-ryan-162721/|publisher=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|date=August 24, 2011}}</ref>
