She maintains one of YouTube’s most subscribed channels. And in fact, her Mixed Nuts video was nominated for the 2006 YouTube Video Awards for Best Comedy, and won as second place against Smosh. In May 2007, she became one of the first YouTube users accepted into YouTube’s revenue sharing program.

Gambito’s performances typically include comedy sketches in which she impersonates members of her family. She also sings and plays the piano or guitar. As Gambito has stated repeatedly in her videos, she is notably one of the very few top users acting, filming, editing and producing her shorts completely on her own.
