Outside of acting, Kat has made headlines for her relationship with singer Andrew W.K. The pair married in 2023, and it all apparently began in 2014. In a long since-deleted tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Kat reportedly told her now-husband, "You are a tall drink of milk AWK." They didn't start dating until 2021, but hey, all great love stories have an adorably niche digital beginning, right?

In addition to her role in 2 Broke Girls, which lasted from 2011 until 2017, Kat starred in or at least appeared in a handful of movies, some of which are now pretty iconic. She was in Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist in 2008, but even before that, she starred alongside Steve Carell in The 40-Year-Old Virgin.

Kat was also in The House Bunny, and she worked on the Audible podcast series The Sandman from 2020 until 2022. And now, she's headed back to television full-time for Shifting Gears. Really, there doesn't seem to be a time when Kat wasn't working during her decades-long career.
