She appeared at famous clubs such as Stand Up New York and The Improv. While in the city, McCarthy trained at The Actor's Studio, performing in various stage productions. In the late 1990s, she moved to Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles, McCarthy became a member of the legendary improvisation and sketch comedy theatre The Groundlings.

In 2000, McCarthy landed her breakthrough role on the popular WB show Gilmore Girls playing Sookie St. James, the clumsy chef and best friend of Lorelai Gilmore.
