She is the daughter of Kevin and Robin Moore, and she’s very close to them and her two siblings. She started her comedy career in 2015 by posting skits to her Instagram feed, quickly capturing the attention of many with her witty and honest humor, making “Jess with the Mess” her most popular segment. Encouraged by this success, she began to do stand-up comedy shows where her followers could see her live and interact with her. This got the attention of comedy legend Martin Lawrence, who then asked her to open for him.

Her success in stand-up allowed her to make the jump to T.V. In 2017, she appeared on the 9th season of M.T.V.’s hit comedy improv series “Wild ‘n Out,” where comedians compete in teams to win improvisational comedy games. She became a beloved cast member and later returned to the show for its 10th, 15th, and 17th seasons. The same year, she appeared on BET’s “Face Value” and H.B.O.’s “All Def Comedy” series. In 2018, she debuted as an actress on the Fox comedy “Rel,” where she played the character of Brittany.

In addition to continuing her acting career in “I Got the Hook Up 2,” “The Varnell Hill Show,” “2 Minutes of Fame,” and “Hip Hop Family Christmas,” she continues to have success on comedy television. Her credits include guest co-hosting Fox’s “Dish Nation” and “The Real” in 2019, being a special guest on the COVID-19 relief fundraising special “Def Comedy Jam Healing Through Laughter” (2020), and appearing on the “Nick Cannon” talk (2021).

In 2021, she premiered her own podcast with iHeartRadio, called “Carefully Reckless,” where she talks about various topics and makes listeners laugh in 20 to 40-minute episodes. She also continues her social media comedy skits on her TikTok feed and posts about her personal life and upcoming live show dates on her Instagram and Twitter.
