| 3 | Jaimee | Chatterton | f | In 2003, a year after her mother died, Alonzo got a job as an office manager at the Addison Improv and started doing stand-up. Alonzo said that she started doing stand-up as a way to process her grief and talk about her mom and her family. She was part of a small Dallas scene. Alonzo eventually moved to Los Angeles to become a stand-up comedian. In 2006, Alonzo got her first break in Los Angeles when she was hired to write on a Comedy Central show. Alonzo spent two years traveling on a bus with the Honduran-born American comedian Carlos Mencia and several other comics. Alonzo ended up leaving the tour. Alonzo then spent a lot of time on the road doing college comedy shows, where she found a lot of success. In 2010, Alonzo was a semi-finalist on the TV show Last Comic Standing, which raised her visibility and led to a May 2011 segment in the comedy showcase Legally Brown. Alonzo did a 30-minute segment of Comedy Central's The Half Hour on June 7, 2013. She has appeared on Conan, Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand Up Revolution, Showtime, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Live at Gotham. In 2013, with TV producer Becky Clements, Alonzo created her own semi-autobiographical comedy pilot Cristela for ABC. She wrote the pilot with her writing partner, Kevin Hench. It was not greenlit as a part of the 2013–2014 television season. In an unusual move, they decided to plan to shoot a pilot presentation with the penalty money (a 30% fee they got when the network initially passed). On February 26, 2014, they shot a pilot presentation, filmed on the stage of Last Man Standing with much of that show's crew to save money; it got a strong testing response from the audience. On May 10, 2014, ABC picked up the pilot to series for the 2014–15 television season. After an initial order of 13 episodes, nine additional episodes were ordered, bringing the total count of episodes for season 1 to 22. Cristela was a multi-camera show, shot in front of a live audience. The series concluded on May 7, 2015, and has since been cancelled. In 2017, Alonzo voiced the character of Cruz Ramirez in the Disney-Pixar film Cars 3. In 2017, Alonzo released a Netflix stand-up special called Cristela Alonzo: Lower Classy. In 2019, Alonzo published a memoir called Music to My Years: A Mixtape-Memoir of Growing Up and Standing Up. The memoir release is accompanied by a stand-up tour called My Affordable Care Act. Alonzo has a trademark, raucous laugh: "If I’m laughing, you know I’m either very happy or very sad", she said. "I cope with things with jokes." She is an observational comic who reflects on stories in her own life. Inspired by Bill Cosby and Roseanne Barr and her favorite childhood shows (The Cosby Show and Roseanne). | Alonzo was named after the midwife who delivered her. The midwife turned out to be her Cristela co-star Maria Canals-Barrera's husband's (actor David Barrera) aunt. Alonzo has been public about being diagnosed with diabetes, which she said she controls with medicine, diet, and exercise.:238,263 Alonzo lives in Los Angeles. Her "home club" is the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California. | In 2003, a year after her mother died, Chatterton got a job as an office manager at the Addison Improv and started doing stand-up.
